STOREFRONT FILMS At Anthology Film Archives A screening of the Brazilian documentary Edificio Master at Anthology Film Archives Monday, February 19, 2007 at 7:30 pm This screening is a collaboration between Storefront for Art and Architecture and the the Center for Urban Pedagogy. People and Buildings is pleased to present a screening of renowned Brazilian documentary filmmaker Eduardo Coutinho’s “Edificio Master,” not yet released in the US. Lingering in hallways, doorways, and apartment interiors, the film documents the banal urban reality of a massive residential apartment building in Copacabana, Rio. As an intimate portrait of the residents of Edificio Master’s twelve floors times 23 studio apartments, the film goes far beyond the empty clichés so often used to explain Rio, in a masterpiece of urban anthropology. Coutinho’s charming and disarming interviewees provide at once a microcosm of Brazil’s middle class and reason to get to know those apartment neighbors you’ve politely ignored until now. Organized by the Center for Urban Pedagogy, People and Buildings is a monthly series of talks about design, politics and urban development. The series provides a venue for activists, theorists, writers and researchers to cross-pollinate their ideas and recent work on urban spaces and the people and institutions that inhabit and change them. The Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) is a nonprofit based in Brooklyn that makes educational projects about places and how they change. For more on CUP, visit www.anothercupdevelopment.org. This film is co-presented by Storefront for Art and Architecture. Funding for this lecture series has been provided in part by the New York Council on the Humanities. Monday, February 19, 7:30pm
Admission is free, but seating is limited. RSVP to info@anothercupdevelopment.org For more information or high-res images, please contact Valeria at the Center for Urban Pedagogy (718) 596-7721 or via e-mail at valeria@anothercupdevelopment.org.
