LA - RES Brazil Event (03/29/05)

BRAZIL EVENT IN LA

Ginga

RES is hosting a special installment of its monthly screening series in Los Angeles this week, dedicated to the celebration of contemporary Brazilian art and culture. The event will feature the premiere of GINGA: The Soul of Brazilian Football, a new documentary film from the producers of City of God. We will also be screening a selection of the best shorts, music videos and motion graphics from RESFEST Brazil. Special guests representing the cultural wealth of Brazil will include filmmaker Marcelo Machado, designers Lobo and artists Os Gemeos. The screening will be followed by a party offering Brazilian food and drinks, as well as music courtesy of DJs Diplo (recently renowned for his Brazilian booty-bass mix Favelas on Blast) and Sergio Mielniczenko. The night gets started at 8:00 pm at the Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood).
