Named one of the 10 Best Documentary Programs, the Academys Documentary Department has graduated an unusual cluster of highly successful young filmmakers, including the Director of Photography/Co-Producer of this years Academy Award nominee, The Square. The world class faculty features top filmmakers from across the documentary spectrum, and Petra Costa is a valued new member, both as a truly original and genre-redefining filmmaker and as a new young international voice. We could not be prouder to introduce both Petra and the Brazilian documentary treasure ELENA to the American audience. New York-based Cinema Tropical (CT) is the leading presenter of Latin American cinema in the U.S. Founded in 2001 with the mission of distributing, programming and promoting what was to become the biggest boom of Latin American cinema in decades, CT brought U.S. audiences some of the first screening of films such as Amores perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien. Through a diversity of programs and initiatives, CT is thriving as a dynamic and groundbreaking 501(c)(3) non-profit media arts organization experimenting in the creation of better and more effective strategies for the distribution and exhibition of foreign cinema in this country.
