\n\tH2O hosted a panel during the Gramado Film Market at the 2026 edition of the Gramado Film Festival<\/a>, in Southern Brazil.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSeduction\u201d marks the debut as a helmer of Marcos Palmeira, a major actor who starred in dozens of telenovelas, series and films in Brazil over the past 50 years. He toplines and co-directs the pic along with his father Zelito Viana, a vet producer of Cinema Novo classic films and director of several features, such as \u201cVilla-Lobos: A Life of Passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the plot, Paulo (Palmeira), a renowned actor, when he learns of his father\u2019s death in the Amazon Rainforest, embarks on a journey to settle his father\u2019s unfinished affairs, faces the rough reality of the region and undergoing a radical transformation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn my opinion it is the best film of Zelito Viana, even better than \u2018Villa-Lobos: A Life of Passion,\u2019\u201d Peregrino told Variety. \u201cAnd it is fair to say, and I believe Zelito will agree with me, that Marcos\u2019 direction work brought a freshness to the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPeregrino stressed the high production value of the pic, lensed in Alter do Ch\u00e3o, in the Amazon region, along the Tapaj\u00f3s River. The pics deals with local issues, such as illegal land grabbing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSeduction\u201d also features two Brazilian film and television stars: Camila Morgado plays Sara Teixeira and Dira Paes portrays Maria Rita Martins in the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Inffinito Brazilian Film Festival is the largest Brazilian film fest held abroad and a pioneer in the promotion and dissemination of local pics in the international market. It takes place in several cities, such as Miami, NYC, London, Vancouver, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Buenos Aires and Shanghai.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTom Jobim \u2013 Esse Seu Olhar\u201d marks the new documentary by Faria Jr, recognized as a top Brazilian director of feature-length docs about music composers. He has helmed the critically acclaimed \u201cVinicius\u201d (2005), about Vinicius de Moraes, which had a strong box office performance, and \u201cChico: Artista Brasileiro\u201d (2015), about Chico Buarque, another legend of Brazilian music.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTom Jobim \u2013 Esse Seu Olhar\u201d is an Arpoador Audiovisual and Urca Filmes production which is co-produced by Globo Filmes. Peregrino and Leonardo Edde are producing. Diana Vasconcellos co-wrote the doc\u2019s screenplay along with Miguel Faria Jr. and also serves as the film\u2019s editor.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMiguel Faria Jr. conducted extensive archival research. He gathered interviews with Tom Jobim from television and other media and edited them in such a way that 70% to 80% of the documentary is narrated by Tom himself,\u201d Peregrino said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GRAMADO, Brazil \u2014 \u201cSeduction\u201d (\u201cSedu\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d), a feature set in the Amazon Rainforest region and helmed by Zelito Viana…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379585,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[152431,152432,152433,152434,152435,123,125,124,152436,152437],"class_list":["post-379584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-gramado-film-festival","tag-h2o-films","tag-inffinito-brazilian-film-festival","tag-jorge-peregrino","tag-marcos-palmeira","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miguel-faria-jr","tag-zelito-viana"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
