Screening for the first time in New York City on November 6 and 11, at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Matheus Nachtergaele’s directorial debut The Dead Girl’s Feats (A Festa da Menina Morta) is an ambitious and fully accomplished feature film about religious expression (and fanaticism) in a fictitious and impoverished community in the Northeast of Brazil.

One of Brazil’s finest actors makes his directorial debut with this deeply disturbing tale about the deprivation and manipulation simmering beneath extreme religious ritual and superstition

Zé Luis—who has toured the world with leading Brazilian and pop artists—is credited on over 330 albums and 40 film soundtracks.

The Pope’s Toilet, a story about the visit of Pope John Paul II to Melo, an impoverished Uruguayan town near the Brazilian border, is available on DVD through Film Movement.
