"One of the most important Brazilian personalities to promote cultural resistance during the national dictatorship in the 60s and 70s, Leon Cakoff, founder of the São Paulo International Film Festival (Mostra Internacional de Cinema), died this Friday, October 14," the festival announces. "Since its first edition, Leon struggled against the censorship imposed by the Brazilian military government, bringing films into the country using the diplomatic luggage with the help from embassies and consulates. That's how the festival exhibited featured movies all the way from China, Cuba, Soviet Union, France and the farthest lands."
Cakoff was also a producer who put together the omnibus film Welcome to São Paulo, with short contributions by the likes of Caetano Veloso, Phillip Noyce, Maria de Medeiros, Daniela Thomas, Amos Gitai and Tsai Ming-liang. The 35th edition of the festival, running from this Friday through November 3, will premiere another, The Invisible World, featuring shorts by Manoel de Oliveira,...
