The Brazilian Film Festival | Summer in the City

Even if you don’t speak Portuguese, the hypnotic beats, sexy bodies and joy for life embraced by our ex-pat Brazilian community is enough to get you moving to the Ritmo. This week we’re joining the crowds at the Brazilian Film Festival to see the best in cinema from the OTHER down under. And what makes this film fest just a bit more appealing than your average popcorn cruncher are the red-hot nightly parties.
