BRAZILIAN PREMIERE AT NOSSA SENHORA DE FÁTIMA/MANAUS
OCTOBER 2022
The Brazilian premiere happened for free in front of Uyra's mother's house, who lives in Nossa Senhora de Fátima, a suburb of Manaus, where around 16 thousand people live. The event featured a ball pit for children, both salty and sweet popcorn, DJ Balaclava (a character from the film), local producers and community agitators who are friends of Uyra. With a large screen and chairs for about 150-200 people, we screened the film on the same street where it was filmed. We invited local journalists who said they had never seen a cultural event in the area since its inception 25 years ago. In addition, the promotion, a week before the event, included a sound truck announcing the event, posters in bars and supermarkets, and flyers distributed throughout the community.
DATE: 15/10/2022 (Saturday)
LOCATION: Nossa Senhora de Fátima community - Manaus/AM
ACTIVITY: Screening of the film "Uýra - The Rising Forest"
PARTICIPANTS/AUDIENCE: Approximately 150 people.
