THE BOY AND THE WORLD [O menino e o mundo]
A unique and visually dazzling spectacle, this wordless animated parable follows Cuca, a young boy who leaves behind the idyllic Brazilian countryside for a gritty mega-metropolis in search of his missing father. Exhilarating for audiences of all ages, artist/animator Alê Abreu's vibrant and eclectic images (ranging from simple stick figures to impressive collages) combine with the samba rhythms of Brazil to create a mesmerizing entertainment which won both the Audience Award and the Cristal Award for Best Film at the prestigious Annecy Animation Film Festival.
