Terra Estrangeira (1997)
Um filme dirigido por Walter Salles e Daniela Thomas
Produzido por Flávio R. Tambellini
Com Fernanda Torres – Fernando Alves Pinto – Luis Melo – Alexandre
Borges – Laura Cardoso – João Lagarto com partticipação especial de
Tcheky Karyi
Brasil, 1990.  O plano Collor é anunciado.  Sem perspectiva em um país
tomado pelo caos, Paco, um jovem de 20 anos de idade, opta pelo exílio
após a morte da mãe.  Parte para Portugal, aceitando uma encomenda
suspeita para pagar a viagem.  Em Lisboa, uma brasileira de 25 anos,
acaba de deixar o namorado, envolvido na mesma teia de contrabando.
Os destinos desses dois jovens vão se aproximar, inexoravelmente, numa
fuga desesperada...
Mesclando o thriller, o filme de estrada e um romantismo à flor da
pele, “Terra Estrangeira” se tornou um filme-culto pela liberdade de
sua narrativa e originalidade de suas imagens.  Um filme lírico e
poético, com atores luminosos, que marcou o cinema brasileiro dos anos
90.

“Foreign Country” (1997)
A Brazilian movie directed by Walter Salles and Daniela Thomas
Produced by Flávio R. Tambellini
With Fernanda Torres – Fernando Alves Pinto – Luis Melo – Alexandre
Borges – Laura Cardoso – João Lagarto and special participation of
Tcheky Karyi
Brazil 1990.  The Collor plan has just been put into place.  Without
seeing any perspective in a country in chaos, Paco, a youngster of 20
years of age, decides to go to Portugal after his mother’s death
accepting a ‘deal’  that will pay for his trip.  In Lisbon, Alex, a
Brazilian of 25 years has just left her boyfriend who was involved
with the same scheme of contraband.  The destiny of these two
youngsters will without a doubt get involved in a desperate flight.
The thriller, a movie with its down to earth aspect and romantics has
become a cult-movie for the liberty of its narrative and the
originality of its images.  A poetic movie with flashing actors that
had a deep impact in the Brazilian movie industry in the 90’s.

Assunto: A Viagem, de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen



O Consulado Geral de Portugal em Toronto apresenta os seus cumprimentos a toda a
comunidade portuguesa da província do Ontário e convida-a a assistir ao recital
A VIAGEM, com actuação do pianista Bernardo Sassetti e da actriz Beatriz
Batarda, na 5ª feira, 26 de Novembro de 2009, pelas 19H30, no Victoria College
(Chapel), 91 Charles St W, Toronto.



A viagem é um conto de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen sobre um casal perdido à
procura do caminho certo, percebendo que não pode voltar de novo às
encruzilhadas onde escolhera um dos caminhos. É uma viagem "parábola" da nossa
vida em que procuramos, tantas vezes, agarrar o que já passou.



Bernardo Sassetti, nascido em Lisboa, em 1970, iniciou os seus estudos de piano
clássico aos nove anos com a professora Maria Fernanda Costa e, mais tarde, com
o professor António Meneres Barbosa, tendo frequentado também a Academia dos
Amadores de Música. Desde 1987 participa em mais de cinquenta trabalhos
discográficos como solista, compositor e orquestrador. Na área da música para
cinema destaca-se a sua participação no filme do realizador Anthony Minguella -
O Talentoso Mr. Ripley (Paramount/Miramax).



Beatriz Batarda, nascida em Londres em 1974, formou-se pela Guildhall School of
Music and Drama, onde recebeu a Medalha de Ouro do curso, na área de
representação. Iniciou-se no Teatro da Cornucópia, sob a direcção de Luís Miguel
Cintra e Diogo Dória. Recebeu três Globos de Ouro, na categoria de Melhor
Actriz, pelos filmes Quaresma (2003), Noite Escura (2004) e A Costa dos
Murmúrios (2004), tendo sido também nomeada na categoria de Teatro, pelo seu
desempenho em Berenice (TNDMII, 2005). Foi nomeada para os Shooting Stars, pela
European Film Promotion.



A apresentação em apreço, incluída no plano de acções de divulgação da língua e
cultura portuguesas do Consulado-Geral de Portugal em Toronto, conta com o apoio
do Instituto Camões e a colaboração da Embaixada de Portugal em Ottawa e dos
Departamentos de Português das Universidades de Toronto e de York.

Re:         Scholarships to Students of  Portuguese Canadian Descent  $1,000 - $2,500

                Deadline NOVEMBER  27, 2009 at 5:00 p.m.

The FPCBP is a non-profit organization focused on promoting a number of business initiatives and the academic achievement of Portuguese Canadian youth.

For the past 28 years, the Federation has had the pleasure of distributing Secondary and Post-Secondary Scholarships, making us the oldest and most prestigious scholarship program in the Portuguese community. In over the past 8 years alone we have donated an excess of over $400.000.

On behalf of the Federation, I am pleased to advise that we will be once again awarding deserving candidates a scholarship in amounts between $1,000 and $2,500.

We are asking that you promote our scholarships by:

                - announcing it to your academic body,

                - placing notices of the Scholarship in places of high profile,

                - specifically advising students of Portuguese descent of its availability.

As an institution committed to the accessibility of education, you are well aware of the financial barriers that can stand in the way of academic pursuit. As such, we hope we can count on your assistance. Attached for your convenience is a copy of the application, which you may also distribute electronically.

The scholarships will be awarded at our annual Scholarship awards dinner at Pearson Convention Center on February 06, 2010. Please direct any further inquires to our office. You may reach us by phone at (416) 537-8874 or via e-mail at info@....
