FANTASPORTO 2016 - INTOLERANCE AND RACISM IN SPECIAL SESSION March 3rd
 
join us to show your support for peace for a flasmob March 3rd at 8.30 in front of Rivoli. Those who dress us fantastic will be rewarded. Bring a sign for peace. Olive tree, cardboard reading 'Peace', 'Live together without prejucdice',  'Fantasporto for peace'.
 
Two films that focus on the themes of religious intolerance and racism are the subject of a special session on Thursday evening, part of the 36th Fantasporto - International Festival of Oporto Cinema.
Both films are focused on the persecution of the Jews during World War II and are based on real events.
 
"Exodus To Shanghai" (2015), directed by Anthony Hickcox tells the story of Dr. Ho, the Chinese consul in Vienna, who granted, against the instructions of his government, visas to thousands of Jews so that they could flee to Shanghai (China), when Germany announced in 1938 annexation of Austria.
Along with this movie, you will see a short film (17 minutes) French "Ensemble", by Mohamed Fekrane (2012), which tells the story of the Imam of the Mosque of Paris who saved more than a thousand young Jews from the Nazi occupying Paris. The imam hid theem, protected them by mixing them with fake muslim identities  in the Islamic community of Paris and teaching them arabic. To better ensure their safety taught them Arabic, Islamic prayers and gave them new identities.
 
These stories teach us that all races and religions can live together in peace, challenging the blindness of racial prejudice.
The two films, which are included in the section non-competitive 'Premiere & Panorama' Fantasporto will be presented in the meeting entitled "Fantasporto for Peace" in the Small Auditorium of Rivoli, at 21:15. March 3rd.

About the series being shown:
Globo will have a prominent presence in the 37th edition of Fantasporto - Porto International Film Festival -, at Teatro Municipal Rivoli. On March 4, between 4:00 pm and 7:00 p.m., three Globo series are shown: 'Supermax', 'Amorteamo' and 'Double Identity'. Although they are three plots with completely different plots and arguments, the series have in common not only the suspense and the fantastic character, but also characteristics of cinematographic production.
Set in Recife at the beginning of the 20th century, 'Amorteamo' (16h00) accompanies several love triangles linked by death. A bride is abandoned at the altar and decides to commit suicide, but ends up calling upon herself a terrible curse. To recover her beloved, she returns from the world of the dead bringing with her other deceased local inhabitants. What nobody knows is that their real intent is to settle past accounts.
'Dupla Identidad' (17h00), signed by Glória Perez, revolves around an investigation into a mysterious and insinuating serial killer in a case with political implications. Everyone is looking for the killer, but he is much closer than they think. The series counts with the participation of actors like Bruno Gagliasso, Débora Falabella, Luana Piovani, Marcello Novaes, among others.
Completing the range of Globo series that appear in the sample of Fantasporto comes 'Supermax', where actress Mariana Ximenes wears the skin of Bruna. In a mixture between fiction and reality, the series narrates the trajectory of 12 participants of a reality show recorded in a deactivated high security prison, located in the Amazon Forest. But the participants were not chosen by chance: each of them committed a serious crime at a certain point in life. Only one of them will win the prize of R $ 2 million reais, however, for this will have to leave alive Supermax. On the first day everything happens well, until the program's production disappears mysteriously, leaving them confined to their own fate, having to deal with strange and supernatural events.
