Brasilianas: Canções Populares
"Brasilianas" is a cinematographic work by Humberto Mauro. Written in photograms and combined with soundtracks, the series is made up of eight short films, which reveal a country through the lens of the Minas Gerais filmmaker. Produced between 1945 and 1964, during the Brazilian democratic period, Mauro sought the voice of his Brasiliana in popular songbooks. The images, mostly recorded in Volta Grande, Minas Gerais, reveal a rural, nostalgic, almost naive country that fights for the preservation of traditions, in the face of the threat of industrialization and modernization of the country.
