Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'cavadora' were itinerant Brazilian filmmakers in the 1910s-30s who traveled small towns projecting films and creating local newsreels—essentially cinema's original content creators.
The film's zero TMDB rating with zero votes is almost performance art—fitting for a movie about forgotten filmmakers that is itself essentially forgotten.
