Cachaça Cinema Clube in Amsterdam

How can you attract a large audience to short film screenings? It seems impossible, but is not so in Rio de Janeiro. In 2002 a group of film students came up with an equally simple as brilliant concept: the Cachaça Cinema Clube. They organized monthly sessions in the old Cine Odeon, a cinema theatre with some 500 chairs, during which visitors were treated to a short film plus cachaça, the national drink of Brazil. A stroke of genius: the well-attended evenings have become one of the most important cultural happenings in the city.

Just for once the Cachaça Cinema Clube will leave the country. On August 11 the club will welcome visitors at Rialto with five short music films and of course lots of cachaça. To top it off DJ Alice Spitz will be spinning fitting sounds before and after the screenings. And she is definitely the right person for the job: she is one of the Cachaça Cinema Clube’s DJ in Rio! But that is not all: after that you will be able to dance far into the night to DJ Paulo Cosac’s music. How much more Brazilian can it get in Amsterdam?!
