MIÚCHA: The Voice of Bossa Nova

Miúcha had a lovely voice, heaps of musical talent, and a remarkable zest for life, yet she remained in the shadows while the men in her life—her brother (Chico Buarque), husband (João Gilberto), and musical partner (Antônio Carlos Jobim) - took center stage. When the Bossa Nova scene rose to popularity, Miúcha composed, sang, recorded, and performed all over the world alongside these giants of Brazillian music, but when she got married and had a child, she was gradually pushed into obscurity. “I thought I didn’t deserve this,” she said, “not to have this fairytale come true for me". Five years after her death, her nephew, filmmaker Daniel Zarvos, used beautiful and emotionally stirring hidden treasures from the family archive to tell Miúcha’s riveting life story, bringing her back into the

limelight, where she belongs.

Directors: Lilian Muti, Daniel Zervos

Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere

Chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works- a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
