The Brazilian promotional body will attend the Efm for the tenth consecutive year to talk up a slate of national films that includes Panorama selections Time Was Endless and Don’t Call Me Son.
Cinema do Brasil, which works with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency and has support from the audiovisual department of the Ministry Of Culture to champion home-grown fare, will be in Berlin representing a delegation of 32 companies.
Both Panorama entries will receive from Cinema do Brasil a $25,000 Sales Agent Support Award.
Don’t Call Me Son (Mae So Ha Uma, pictured) is Anna Muylaert’s follow-up to her widely admired 2015 Panorama winner and Brazilian foreign language Oscar submission The Second Mother.
The film premieres on Friday and tells of a teenage city boy who learns that the woman he thought was his mother is not his biological parent and goes on a search for his real family.
