14. Turn It Up, It’s Rock’n’roll (Aumentaque E Rock’n’roll) – LAFF 2024
Description
ABOUT THE LATIN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL (LAFF)
The Latin American Film Festival (LAFF) is an initiative of the Latin American Embassies in Australia to showcase Latin American culture. It is a not-for-profit event created to promote our culture and reach out to places where Latin American cinema or Latin American culture in general is seldom present. It brings communities together, promotes multiculturalism and increases understanding and appreciation towards the Latin American community through the universal language of film.
The event is now in its 18th consecutive year and is the largest event in Australia. Every year, it tours around at least half a dozen cities. This year, LAFF is comprised of 13 different films, one for each participating country: Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Chile.
The Latin American Embassies in Australia organise the LAFF with the support of other not-for-profit organisations that share the vision of promoting culture. On this occasion, the Latin American Community of Australia (QLD) Incorporated, LACA QLD, organises the festival in Brisbane in collaboration with HolaNetworking.
TURN IT UP, ITS ROCK AND ROLL! (AUMENTA QUE E’ ROCK AND ROLL)
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio host, who unexpectedly finds himself in charge of a bankrupt radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he creates one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM.
Among guitar solos and radio signal interferences, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz.
