Event Description : Embassy of Brazil presents 'Xingu' film screening as part of BRICS Film Festival. 
Inspired by the real-life stories of the Villas Boas brothers (Claudio, Orlando, and Leonardo), Xingu begins its tale in the 1940s and spans three decades, from the moment the brothers were still young, middle class idealists until they became some of Brazil’s most important political figures for indigenous rights. Most importantly, the brothers are remembered for starting an exploratory expedition into the Xingu River, making contact with the local tribes, learning to live in the rainforest, and persuading a reluctant government to found the Xingu National Park (1961), one of the world’s largest indigenous reservations. Winner of Jury Award for Best Cinematography, 2012 Prêmio Contigo Cinema & 3rd place at the Panorama Audience Award for Fiction Film, 2012 Berlin International Film Festival
