Semente da Música Brasileira

It tells the story of the musicians who revitalized Lapa, from the end of the 90s, in meetings on the small stage of "Bar Semente". The documentary is a historical record of a stronghold of cultural effervescence that remained in the affective memory of Rio de Janeiro.

Directed by Patrícia Terra, Semente da Música Brasileira leans on a strong ensemble — Teresa Cristina, Roberta Sá, Yamandu Costa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2018.
