Imagine this. You’ve just touched down in Rio de Janeiro and already a wave of heat and excitement has washed over the crew. It’s Carnival season in Brazil and the city is on a high of samba sessions, sequins and anticipation.
And you? You are here to join the revelry and commit it to film. Ahead of you lie ten days packed with festival action; a time to explore this much-famed city and really discover what makes its people stop everything and indulge the Carnival spirit.
Rio will spill all of her secrets, from the brazen beach hangouts to the struggles of the favelas, your job is to uncover the local stories and the rich culture of Rio. And let’s not forget Carnival – will you get swept up in the parade, end up eating empanadas with a girl from Ipanema or dancing the day away with a Brazilian samba school?
Our friends at World Nomads are looking for adventurous filmmakers to make this dream a reality. Working under the mentorship of a professional filmmaker, you will improve your skills, experience one of the world’s top festivals and get your foot in the door of the travel film industry!
