‘LAST CONVERSATIONS '
BY EDUARDO COUTINHO
OPENS THE 20th IT’S ALL TRUE
Documentary opens the film festival in São Paulo and in Rio de
Janeiro
Posthumous film shows interviews with young cariocas
"Last Conversations", the final documentary directed by Eduardo
Coutinho (1933-2014), will be the opening film for guests of the
20th It's All True - International Documentary Film Festival to be
held on April 9th and 10th, 2015. With a running time of around 90
minutes, "Last Conversations" features Coutinho chatting with
young carioca (Rio de Janeiro native) students.
“Coutinho didn't have time to put together what would turn out to
be his last film," explains producer João Moreira Salles
(Videofilmes). "It’s all about conversations with young people who
have their whole life ahead of them. For me, at least, that
circumstance makes the poignancy of ' Last Conversations ' ".
"It is a great honor to present Coutinho’s last film at the opening of
our 20th It’s All True Film Festival, and we are immensely thankful
to Videofilmes for providing it to us”, says Amir Labaki, founder
and Director of the festival.
"Last Conversations" did not initially bear the marks of a farewell
film. However, in actually being one, it’s a beautiful closure to one
of the most original works in the history of world documentary and
Brazilian cinema," Labaki states.
The It's All True 2015 - 20th International Documentary Film
Festival takes place in São Paulo and in Rio de
Janeiro simultaneously from April 9th to 19th, with free admission
