INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN:MOSTRA VI: Brazilian Film Series
November 1-15, 2015
Mostra VI: Brazilian Film Series is presented by the Illinois and São Paulo Chapters of the Partners of the Americas, a non-profit Volunteer organization, which for over 50 years has connected people from the US and all of Latin America through person to person diplomacy programs. Our mission is to develop a greater understanding and vision in the areas of Arts & Culture, Youth Leadership, Social Issues, Environment, Business, Urban Planning & Development, and Health.
We invite you to join us at this year’s MOSTRA VI.
Sincerely,
The Illinois-São Paulo Chapter of Partners of the Americas.
It has been my greatest pleasure to organize the initial structure of this cinematic project. I had a vision of an endeavor that would not only entertain, but also inform. And thus, MOSTRA: Brazilian Film Series was created. MOSTRA brings a diverse Brazil to America and has already become a valuable asset to our cross cultural relationship.
MOSTRA: Brazilian Film Series intends to promote a greater understanding of the Brazilian culture, politics, history and its social issues through film. Discussions with renowned Brazilian filmmakers, film critics, professors and experts in previous MOSTRAs, have proven to be an educational, interactive and unforgettable experience for all who participate.
Last year (2014) we celebrate our 5th Anniversary with great success and now, we embark in the preparation of our 6th, planning another very special edition. For this reason we invite you to consider coming on board and sharing the opportunity of creating a mutually rewarding relationship with a US/Brazil non-profit organization and to experience this year’s adventure while discovering the inside of Brazilian life. In doing so, you are also helping others learn about what makes the fifth largest country in the world such a fascinating place.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how we can work together in order to reach our goals of promoting educational and cultural knowledge of Brazil through film. Film is culture; culture is understanding; understanding opens minds. We hope you join us in this wonderful experience.
Sincerely,
Ariani A.G. FriedlFounder and Director
