For this first screening, we revisited Black Orpheus by Marcel Camus, the legendary film that transposes the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice into the vibrant setting of Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival. Through an analysis of the film, the discussion explored how love becomes both a philosophy and a vehicle for memory, identity, and cultural resistance, particularly within Afro-Brazilian and Latin American contexts. The guest, Némo Camus, a sound artist and grandson of Lourdes de Oliveira (who played Mira in Black Orpheus), shared a unique testimony on the film’s visual and symbolic legacy, as well as the discrepancies between family memory and historical interpretation.
