Globo Filmes, Dezenove Backed Juliana Rojas Feature ‘Cidade; Campo,’ an ‘Existentialist Supernatural Film,’ Bows at Berlin’s Encounters
The Berlin Encounters entry is further supported by France’s Good Fortune Films and Germany’s Sutor Kolonko.
Amongst a slate of auspicious Brazilian films and series featuring in Berlin, “Cidade; Campo”– the latest from arthouse helmer Juliana Rojas – saw its world premiere on Monday, screening as part of the Encounters strand that aims “to foster aesthetically and structurally daring works from independent, innovative filmmakers,” according to the fest. Rojas, having worked on largely female productions previously, admits that this project offered her the opportunity to bring an evermore ambitious set of themes to life in a talent-stacked environment that nurtured her creativity. A boon that Rojas attributes to a “collaborative process that involves sharing the motivations and references that led me to create the script, and building the characters’ genesis together to enhance the scenes already written.”
