SUMMARY:FADOS screening @ Sundance Kabuki
DESCRIPTION:SF *Brazilian* Portuguese Language (and dancing!) Meetups\n\nCa
 rlos Saura (Portugal/Spain 2007)\nLike the blues\, fado\, with its strummed
  guitars and plucked mandolins\, can be lively or poignant as it contemplat
 es unrequited love\, homesickness and the general malaise of being down on 
 your luck. As with his other musical films like Sevillanas (SFIFF 1993)\, I
 beria (SFIFF 2006)\, Flamenco and Tango\, Carlos Saura brings together a ra
 nge of the finest practitioners of the art\, including Mariza\, Camané\, Ca
 rlos do Carmo and Chico Buarque. Adding artists from Mozambique\, Brazil an
 d Cabo Verde\, Saura takes us down unforgettable side streets\, leavening t
 he traditional with the talents of Lila Downs\, Caetano Veloso and others. 
 He has a genius for using the camera to bring new dimensions to sound\, mot
 ion\, color and feeling with his ever-inventive staging of performances\, e
 nriched by costuming\, backgrounds\, projections and disarming closeups. Th
 e spirit of the port city of Lisbon\, Portugal\, the place that gave birth 
 to fado\, is invoked with location shooting\, vintage footage and other gra
 phic imagery\, elements new to the Saura musical film canon. “I hope that t
 his film will serve to launch fados into the world\,” says Saura\, who cele
 brates over 50 years of making films with one of his most polished\, inspir
 ed and satisfying efforts. Whether or not you know fado or any of the artis
 ts here\, after this stirring musical journey\, you are not likely to forge
 t them.\n\n7:10 pm screening\n\nmeet at the 2nd floor bar  NOT the Balcony
