Connection
Kátia Lund is a Director, Writer, Producer and Co-Director Brésil born on 1 january 1966
Kátia Lund (née à São Paulo, en 1966) est une réalisatrice, productrice et scénariste brésilienne.
« Lorsqu'elle découvre la favela à l'âge de 29 ans, Katia Lund décide de consacrer sa caméra à ses habitants. Engagée par Spike Lee en 1995 sur le tournage du vidéo-clip They Don't Care About Us de Michael Jackson, la jeune femme est littéralement bouleversée par la population qu'elle rencontre. Élevée au Brésil par des parents issus de la middle-class américaine, elle ignorait jusqu'alors la pauvreté qui règne dans les bidonvilles. Diplômée en art de l'école catholique Maria Imaculada et en cinéma de la Brow University, elle travaille longtemps en tant qu'assistante réalisatrice sur des projets musicaux et publicitaires. En 1996, elle opère un revirement total et réalise Noticias de una guerra particular, documentaire centré sur le trafic de drogue dans les favelas. Si grâce à Spike Lee elle approche donc la favela, c'est aux côtés du cinéaste brésilien Fernando Meirelles qu'elle l'explore. Leur collaboration débute avec le court métrage Golden Gate et se poursuit avec La Cité de Dieu, film qui dénonce la violence inouïe des quartiers pauvres de Rio. Succès mondial, le métrage sert de tremplin à la série télévisée La Cité des hommes, prolongement de Golden Gate, dont elle assure la production et la réalisation de quelques épisodes. Katia Lund dirige en 2009, un segment du film collectif Les Enfants invisibles sur les destins d'enfants à travers le monde. Également à la tête de Nós do Cinema, organisation mêlant métiers du film et aide aux enfants démunis, Katia Lund compte bien élever la conscience sociale à travers le cinéma. »

Rio de Janeiro, 1886. Actress Sarah Bernhardt performs at the city's Municipal Theater, captivating the local audience enthralled by French culture. The city is at her feet, and even the Emperor Pedro II comes to pay his respects. He confides a secret to her: the disappearance of a precious Stradivarius violin presented by him to the charming widow Baroness Maria Luiza. The actress suggests to the monarch to hire her friend, the legendary British detective Sherlock Holmes, to solve the case. Subsequently, a brutal murder shocks the city, and leaves the police superintendent Mello Pimenta: a prostitute had been killed and mutilated, her ears cut off and a violin cord strategically placed on her body by the perpetrator. Later, under the heat of the tropical sun, the lives of Holmes and Doctor Watson are changed forever, as they find themselves neck-deep in a cultural milieu that portrays all standard Brazilian stereotypes.
