Four "the making of" films by Ivan Cardoso during the filming of O Rei do Bralho, O Monstro Caraíba, A agonia, O Gigante da América. "For me, Julio Bressane was a maestro! I met him thanks to Rogério Sganzerla in 1969, while we were shooting Sem Essa Aranha, during the Bel Air period. He, too, was making a film, Cuidado Madame, and he invited me to see one of the shootings. Julinho taught me to make cinema from nothing… to get blood from a rock. Always with modest budgets, a small troupe, quick and inventive shots. The days I worked on his films were the most entertaining of my youth. It is a great fortune to be able to work on other people's films" (I. Cardoso).
Biography
film director
Ivan Cardoso
Ivan Cardoso (Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, 1952),
photographer and artist, decided to dedicate himself to cinema after
seeing
O Bandido da
Luz Vermelha (1968)
by Rogério Sganzerla.
During the early
1970s he put his photographic activity at the service of the
Tropicalism
movement, creating the covers for albums by Gal Costa and Caetano
Veloso and
illustrating
books by Waly Salomão,
Torquato Neto o Augusto and Haroldo de Campos. After directing many
short films
in Super8, in 1982 he made his first full-length fiction film, O

horror.
