This delightful short is for film lovers everywhere. Jose Zagati is a trash gatherer on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. To his wife's dismay, he is obsessed with creating and running a fully functioning film theater from recycled objects. The seats, projector and the very films themselves come from discarded objects. He has turned his modest garage into a gathering place for the children of the village who experience the joy of cinema (and popcorn) free of charge. This short film shows how one man's obsession with cinema has taken over his life, while at the same time it bring pleasure to a whole community.

"And Zagati wants everyone to have the feeling of wonderment about movies he does. 'Cinema is magic,' he says. Mini Cine Tupy conveys the sense of awe even to jaded U.S. audiences. Recommended." Brian Falato, University of South Florida, Tampa Campus Library for EMRO
