Mezzanine: ONDA NOVA — live event
Mezzanine presents Onda Nova (New Wave), directed by Ícaro Martins & José Antonio Garcia. 1983, Brazil, 103m, DCP. U.S. premiere of new 4K restoration, presented with Discordia. ∆ A defiantly queer, anarchic, one-of-a-kind sex comedy, the Brazilian cult film ONDA NOVA follows a ragtag team of female footballers as they navigate their dreams and desires, set against the backdrop of the country’s conservative military dictatorship. Made when women’s soccer had just been unbanned, the film’s characters sport eclectic ‘80s ensembles as they train, argue with their parents, make love, and party hard, often getting into sticky situations (but sliding out of them just as breezily). Yet beneath their fearless personas, they begin to feel isolated, knowing their youthful utopia is starting to run dry. Never before screened in the U.S., ONDA NOVA was banned upon its premiere and only released a year later after a legal battle, which compromised its chance at international success. Now newly rest
