CCXP23 kicked off this Thursday (30th) and as always, announcements were made and exclusive previews were shown on the big screen at the Thunder Stage. Paris Filmes was among the studios present on the first day of the fair, with a strong focus on national cinema.
Appearing at the Paris Filmes panel of CCXP23: the actress Ingrid Guimarães, the director Susana Garcia, the actress Maria, the actor Milhem Cortaz, the actor Jesuíta Barbosa, the actor Edmilson Filho, the director Halder Gomes, the actress Giulia Benite and actor Pedro Motta.
My mother and me
The panel opened with a bang with the presence of actress Ingrid Guimarães and director Susana Garcia, author of successful films such as “My Life on Mars”, “Men are from Mars… and that’s where I’m going ”, “My Mother É Uma Peça 3”, as well as the documentary “Filho da Mãe”, focused on the behind the scenes of Paulo Gustavo’s latest project.
The duo was on the Thunder Stage to promote the film “Minha Irmã e Eu”, starring Ingrid Guimarães and Tatá Werneck.
Ingrid Guimarães and Susana Garcia told us a little behind the scenes of the film, explaining that Tatá Werneck never shoots two scenes the same way, always improvising along the way. The director also recounted an unusual moment when Werneck had to ride an ox for a scene.
Furthermore, an exclusive scene was shown that made those present on the Thunder Stage laugh. In it, the characters of Ingrid Guimarães and Tatá Werneck act together with Lázaro Ramos and Thaís Araújo, who also live in the plot.
Synopsis of “Minha Irmã e Eu”: Sister Mirian and Mirelly were born in the hinterland of Goiás, but live in different cities. When her mother disappears, the two put aside their differences and team up to search for her on a journey that could change their lives.
Bandit: Rocinha’s number one
The second film shown on the Thunder Stage was “Bandida: Rocinha’s Number One”. Starring actress, singer and former BBB member Maria, who attended the event alongside Milhem Cortaz, the film is based on the book “A Número Um,” by Raquel de Oliveira. The author, considered the first woman to lead the drug trade in Rio de Janeiro, wrote the book about her own life.
Maria and Milhem Cortaz commented on their characters, comparing the film to hits like “Cidade de Deus” and “Tropa de Elite”. An exclusive preview was shown on the Thunder Stage, already showing the violence that is expected to be prevalent in the film.
Synopsis: Rebeca had a difficult life when, at the age of nine, she was sold by her grandmother to a bookseller who ran the community in which they lived. Some time later, she becomes a partner of Pará, crime boss, and later she begins to command the gang.
The man with H
Recently announced as the star of “Homem com H,” actor Jesuíta Barbosa entered the Thunder Stage to comment on his new role, as Ney Matogrosso. Describing the singer as Brazil’s “best performer”, Jesuíta Barbosa took part in a game on stage in which he had to guess the name of the artist’s songs.
“Homem com H”, which will tell the origins of Ney Matogrosso, will be directed by Esmir Filho. Filming of the film will begin in January 2024.
CIC – Cearense Intelligence Center
Returning to the comedy genre, Paris Filmes brought actor Edmilson Filho and director Halder Gomes to the stage to present the film “CIC — Central de Intelligence Cearense”. The two even entered the stage simulating a fight.
An exclusive and fun teaser was shown on Thunder, and Edmilson Filho even did a martial arts demonstration, breaking a wooden board with his foot (taking off his shoe so as not to ruin his new shoes).
Call Bebel
Finally, the duo of young actors Giulia Benite and Pedro Motta took to the stage to talk about their new film, “Chama a Bebel”. Aimed at children and teenagers, the film reunites Benite and Motta, who have already worked together in “Turma da Mônica — A Série”, she in the role of Mônica herself, and he in the role of Quinzinho.
The duo released the first trailer for the film, which you can see below:
