PREVIEW SCREENING OF ACCLAIMED BRAZILIAN DOCUMENTARY ‘MANDA BALA (SEND A BULLET)’FILMMAKERS IN PERSON ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 2007
As part of its ongoing series World Cinema Showcase, the Museum of the Moving Image will present a special preview screening of the new documentary about contemporary Brazil, Manda Bala (Send a Bullet), on Saturday, August 4 at 6:30 p.m. followed by a discussion with director Jason Kohn and producer Jared Ian Goldman. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Manda Bala examines the corrupt and violent underbelly of Brazil through the lives of a crooked politician, a Sao Paulo plastic surgeon, a frog breeder, and a professional kidnapper. The screening is free with museum admission.
In his review of the film for Variety, film critic Scott Foundas wrote “Manda Bala emerges as that rare film about the developing world that does not rub our privileged first-world noses in poverty and famine, but rather merely abides by that sage journalistic advice: ‘Follow the money.’” In his description for the Sundance Film Festival, programmer Trevor Goth called it “inventive and haunting…. Manda Bala is an ingenious documentary in the vanguard of what will hopefully be a new wave of documentary filmmaking.”
Manda Bala opens in New York City on August 17. Screeners are available upon request. Please contact Tomoko Kawamoto at tkawamoto@movingimage.us or 718.784.4520 x 303.
World Cinema Showcase is presented with support from the Independence Community Foundation.

2007, 85 mins. Video. Directed by Jason Kohn. Winner of the jury grand prize at Sundance, this provocative and beautifully made documentary uses a money-laundering frog farm to launch a wide-ranging study of corruption and inequality in modern Brazil. The film evokes Errol Morris with its collage of lush images, revealing interviews, and stylish music.
