One of the key works of the Brazilian <em>Cinema Marginal</em> (Underground Cinema) movement, with its “aesthetics of garbage”, the late Sganzerla combines western, detective story, documentary, musical, comedy, science fiction and radical politics.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span></span><strong><span>Event Details</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Tickets: </span></strong><span>$6 - $10 at door</span><strong><span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>When: </span></strong><span>November 11, 2011 - <span>8:00 PM</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Where:</span></strong><span> </span><span>Artists’ Television Access
