special prizes
The night also featured a selection of special awards, which began with the delivery of the Services Rendered Award to the Festival de Brasília do Cinema Brasileiro to the servant of the Secretariat of Culture of the Federal District Carla Queiroz. “I say gratitude for each edition. It was very good, each year, each edition, each moment was special. And this one even more”, said the woman who was defined as “living memory of the festival”. Another recognition was the Marco Antônio Guimarães Award, which chose Diálogos Com Ruth de Souza, by Juliana Vicente, as the work that worked best with research, memory material and national cinema archives for production. “May we remember the black artists who were part of the history of the culture of this country”, recalled the producer of Preta Portê Filmes. Our Steps Will Follow Yours…, by Uilton Oliveira, won the Canal Brasil Short Film Award, which includes the value of R$ 15,000 and a spot on the channel’s programming. Who won the Saruê Award, given by Correio Braziliense, was A Invenção foi Outro, for making reference to the memory of indigenist Bruno Pereira, who was found dead in June of this year with his work colleague, journalist Dom Phillips. This year, those responsible for the Abracine Award recalled that the cinematographic sector is experiencing a moment of recovery, but criticism of the area has suffered and has been transformed into spaces for entertainment nominations. Given the criticism, who took the statuette for Best Short was Calunga Maior, by Thiago Costa; while Mato Seco em Chamas was chosen as Best Feature. Delivered by the Association of Black Audiovisual Professionals and the Centro Afrocarioca de Cinema, the Zózimo Bulbul Award also highlighted two productions in its second edition. “It is very important to hand over this award on the 20th. Talking about black cinema is not always the most pleasant subject for everyone”, evaluates Vitor José. Again Calunga Maior won the best short film, but who took the award as best feature film was Rumo, by Bruno Victor and Marcus Azevedo. The award team also made an honorable mention to Mato Seco em Chamas, in particular to the protagonists.
