Openly embracing a mod e of magical realism\, dos Santos' celebrated film tells the story of a fa rming family defined by the absence of its father who abruptly abandoned h is wife and children\, sailing away down the river\, including his son who continues to communicate with his father\, speaking daily to him from the river bank. While offering an evocative vision of rural Brazil as a timel ess land of mystery and solemnity\, The Third Bank of the River is also bi tingly satiric in the remarkable depiction of religious belief when the fa mily moves to the city and its youngest member\, a mesmerizing little girl \, is revealed to be a kind of saint\, capable of miraculous acts. In a ge sture back to his earliest work about rural Brazil\, dos Santos cast as th e lonely mother Maria Ribeiro\, star of Barren Lives.\n\nStart time: 7:00 pm DTSTART:20120507T000000 DTEND:20120507T000000 LOCATION: SUMMARY:The Third Bank of the River TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
