Brasilianas are collections, personal or institutional, having artifacts and aspects of Brazilian culture as their theme. Brasiliana Cinematográfica is a production company dedicated to the nuances of Brazilian cinema and promotes its meetings through local, regional, and international collaborations. Founded by André Mielnik and Diogo Faggiano, the company seeks to establish a platform for development and dialogue primarily for new Brazilian and Latin American voices. The portfolio has the distribution rights of "Los Conductos" (2020) by Camilo Restrepo, and signs the co-production of "Esqui" (2021) by Manque La Banca and the unpublished "A Vida São Dois Dias" by Leonardo Mouramateus. In 2021, Yuri Amaral and Diego Quinderé join Brasiliana.
Life Lasts Two Days
Rómulo's quiet routine in Rio de Janeiro changes overnight when an accident sets off a wave of absurd events.
