Pedro Urano's "Royal Road Of Cachaça" Wins "Best Documentary" At 10th Rio de Janeiro Film Festival

Variety reports that filmmaker Pedro Urano won the "Best Documentary" award for his film Estrada Real da Cachaça ("The Royal Road of Cachaça").

Here's a six-minute demo reel of the film:

Estrada Real da Cachaca (The Royal Road of Cachaca) from Pedro Urano on Vimeo.

Would love to get a hold of this somehow. I have to imagine that the next step for this would be to submit it to the film festivals in the U.S., especially the wide variety of Latino film festivals we have up here.

Oh... Pssst... Hey Pedro... The 2009 Chicago Latino Film Festival call-for-entries is due December 19, 2008 (PDF).

About Cachaçagora

  • Hi. My name is Phil Gomes. By day, I work at a public relations firm as its senior vice president of digital integration. I'm a proud SF East Bay native who currently lives in Chicago.

    I was introduced to cachaça by my wife, a Carioca. Her mom, in turn, is the president of the Confraria de Cachaça do Copo Furado, a group that meets monthly to talk about Brazil's indigenous spirit. I participated in one of their meetings when I vacationed in Rio in July 2008.

    This started me thinking about the basic question of whether cachaça in the U.S. is today where, say, tequila was some decades ago.

    So I decided to start this blog as a means to record and share the cachaça-related items I've been seeing day-to-day. I hope to be sharing recipes, impressions, and random thoughts as the U.S. continues to catch on to the potential for this particular spirit.

    Oh... The name? "Cachaçagora" is a portmanteau of "Cachaça" and "agora", which is the Portuguese word for "now". In Greek, "agora" also means public square. I hope to meet the expectations of both.

    Saúde!
