Carnival in Brazil 1942

Carnival in Brazil 1942 Brazilian music & Elsie Houston shown on an Eiki 16mm projector

This short feature film depicts Brazil and entertainers from the early 1940's. This is a one of several shorts that are spliced together on a 60 minute reel of film. This is one of ten I purchased at an estate sale for only 25 cents each a few months ago. One is a full length b/w motion picture. The others range from British war films, foreign dancers, American war related entertainment. I also have many other 16mm films containing close to 100 soundies, which are 3 minute movies of popular orchestras and singers. Soundies were made for scopitone jukeboxes in the 1940's that showed music videos instead of playing records, similar to the music videos we have today. They are several reels over an hour running time with 3 minute music videos. The flicker in the film is caused by the mismatched timing of the projector and the camcorder. This is not present when viewing the film directly from the projector.

Carnival of Brazil - Foz do Iguacu - Carnaval 100%

One of the best Carnival in Brazil you find in Foz do Iguazu.The Brazilian Carnaval (Portuguese: Carnaval) is an annual festival in Brazil held 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. During Lent, Roman Catholics are supposed to abstain from all bodily pleasures, including the consumption of meat. The carnival, celebrated as a profane event and believed to have its origins in the pagan Saturnalia, can thus be considered an act of farewell to the pleasures of the flesh. Brazilian Carnival as a whole exhibits some differences with its counterparts in Europe and other parts of the world, and within Brazil it has distinct regional manifestations. Brazilian citizens used to riot until the Carnival was accepted by the government as an expression of culture. That was because the Brazilian carnival had its origin in a Portuguese festivity called "entrudo".This tropical paradise is alive with mad passion in every walk of life. Axe (achay)
means energy in Brazil and nowhere else is the heart-pounding,
rhythmic energy more evident... Whether its an impromptu capoeira roda
on a street corner, bursting with music, excitement and the typical Brasilian
lust for life... or the sound of loud raucous laughter between two
acquaintances over ice cold beer in local open sided bars... Brazil-Foz do Iguacu has it all!
