Resumo Expandido | A palestra será realizada em portugues Two years ago a certain Kiu Eckstein published his autobiography "One life…two worlds: Biographical notes in times of change/Ein Leben ... zwei Welten: Biographische Notizen in Zeiten des Wandels (2017)". Kiu Eckstein is the German journalist, filmmaker, and author Klaus Manfred Eckstein also known in Brazil as K.M. Eckstein. For more than fifteen years Eckstein was living in Rio de Janeiro where he was the Latin America correspondent of the German second public television channel ZDF. During his time in Brazil Eckstein not only was working a television journalist, but he became a first-hand witness of the emerging Cinema Novo movement. Known as “O Eckstein” among Brazilian filmmakers, Eckstein was producer and associate producer for a number of Cinema Novo films, among others MACUNAÍMA (Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, 1969), OS DEUSES E OS MORTOS (RUY GUERRA, 1970), MINHA NAMORADA (Armando Costa, Zelito Viana, 1970), COMO ERA GOSTOSO O MEU FRANCÊS (Nelson Pereira dos Santos 1971), QUANDO O CARNAVAL CHEGAR (CARLOS DIEGUES, 1972), A LENDA DE UBIRAJARA (André Luiz Oliveira, 1975), PERDIDA (Correia, Carlos Alberto Prates, 1976), MORTE E VIDA SEVERINA (Zelito Viana, 1977). Together with de Andrade Eckstein produced the documentary CINEMA NOVO/IMPROVISIERT UND ZIELBEWUSST (1967) that introduced for the very first time the Cinema Novo movement and its filmmakers to a German public. Eckstein’s interest and commitment to Cinema Novo also is visible in at least in one of his television reports that makes a visual reference to dos Santos VIDAS SECAS. The conversation introduces the work and life of Klaus Manfred Eckstein and investigates how a German journalist became involved in Cinema Novo productions in the sixties and seventies. It is based on Eckstein’s biography and on a two-day-interview with Klaus Manfred Eckstein made in 2016 in Starnberg near Munich, where he is living together with his Brazilian wife. |
