**Screenwriters**: Vinicius de Moraes, Marcel Camus, Jacques Viot **Producer**: Sacha Gordine With an introduction from Founding Member **Jerrika Hinton!** A stunningly beautiful bossa nova interpretation of the Greek myth of Orpheus set in vibrant and intoxicating Brazil during Carnaval. Young lovers Orfeu and Eurydice run through the favelas of Rio during Carnaval, on the lam from a hitman dressed like Death and Orfeu’s vengeful fiancée Mira and passing between moments of fantasy and stark reality. This impressionistic retelling of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice introduced bossa nova to the world with its soundtrack by young Brazilian composers Luiz Bonfá and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival as well as Best Foreign Language Film at both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, *Black Orpheus* remains a treasured classic and a big screen essential! **Picks from the Video Store** Looking for more Brazilian film?
