Dos Reis Magos dos Tupiniquins

A film by Orlando Bomfim Netto, member of the Capixaba Collection.

An image of a boat going down a river, a voice of impostation declaiming direct verses that warn us: we, the poor, have value only in the face of the rich's need. A documentary about the celebration of the Ticumbi festivities in Conceição da Barra, north of Espírito Santo - Brazil.

Artistic documentary that combines images of human beings and nature to achieve a highly significant aesthetic result. Irrational deforestation in Itaúnas (northern Espírito Santo, Brazil) makes the village vulnerable to sand blown by the intense winds. In 1968, the region becomes uninhabitable, producing a living example of ecological disaster.

The elements of Tutti Tutti buona gente, the inaugural film of the documentary phase of Orlando Bomfim Netto's cinema, are organized in a chronological and lyrical structure that covers the 100 years of Italian colonization in Brazil and in Espirito Santo, their stories and customs. A portrait of the community of descendants of the inland city of Santa Teresa.

Through documentary images, old photographs and interviews, the director presents the Santa Tereza cable car, not only as an original means of transport and tourist element, but also as an important part of the history of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
