Cidade Dos Homens
''Cidade dos Homens'' (English title: ''City of Men'') is a Brazilian television show created by Kátia Lund and Fernando Meirelles, the directors of the film '' City of God''. The series was watched by 35 million viewers in Brazil and was released internationally on DVD shortly after the film. In 2007, a feature-length film based on the series (produced by Fox and TV Globo) was released. It is often cited as a "spin-off" of the film ''City of God''. ''City of Men'' is a less violent and more light-hearted affair with dramedy elements (the film adaptation is darker, sharing its roots of ''City of God''). However, the two do share some common aspects: the directors, some of the actors, and the setting of the Brazilian favela with its background of gangsters and poverty. The show tells the stories of Luis Cláudio and Uólace, better known by their nicknames Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha ( Darlan Cunha), respectively, who are two best friends who live in a notorious Rio s ...

O Ano Em Que Meus Pais SaÃram De Férias
''The Year My Parents Went on Vacation'' () is a 2006 Brazilian drama film directed by Cao Hamburger. The screenplay, which took four years to be completed, was written by Hamburger, Adriana Falcão, Claudio Galperin, Anna Muylaert and Bráulio Mantovani. It won 36 awards in 18 film festivals where it competed. It was submitted by the Ministry of Culture for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not one of the finalists. For some, this choice was unexpected, since it was thought that José Padilha's ''Elite Squad'' would be submitted, with there being some supposition that the criticism of ''Elite Squad'' appearing to be in favor of using violence to end trafficking and accusations of promoting fascism contributed to the decision to nominate ''The Year...'' instead. Michel Joelsas, who plays Mauro, received a nomination in the 2007 Young Artist Awards for Leading Young Performer. In 2015, the Brazilian Film Critics Association aka Abraccine voted ''O ...

São Paulo Prize For Literature
The São Paulo Prize for Literature () is a Brazilian literary prize for novels written in the Portuguese language and published in Brazil. It was established in 2008 by the Secretary of Culture for the State of São Paulo. Though not as old as other literary prizes in Brazil, such as the Machado de Assis Prize, the São Paulo Prize has quickly risen in prestige. For example, in 2011, there were 221 submissions for the prize. This rapid rise in popularity is partly because of the large cash prize. Every year two prizes of R$200,000 each are awarded—one for the best novel of the year by an established author, and the other for the best novel of the year by a debut author—making the São Paulo Prize the largest prize for a published work in Brazil, and one of the largest literary prizes in the world. Ten finalists are listed for each award, during the Festival da Mantiqueira, and the winners are announced on the first Monday of August in the Museum of the Portuguese Language. ...
