''Dzi Croquettes'' is a 2009 Brazilian documentary about a Brazilian dance and theater group. Directed by Tatiana Issa and Raphael Alvarez, The film became the most awarded documentary in Brazilian History and had its US premiere at the acclaimed MoMA (Museum of Modern Art in New York) 〔()〕 followed by theatrical release in the USA at the ''IFC Village Cinemas'' 〔()〕 in New York and ''Sunset 5 Cinemas'' 〔()〕 Los Angeles, besides theatrical release in Europe and Brazil. The film receivied outstanding reviews on all major Newspapers such as ''New York Times'',〔(''New York Times'' by Neil Genzlinger )〕 ''Los Angeles Times'',〔( ''Los Angeles Times'' by Kevin Thomas )〕 ''LA Weekly'',〔(''LA Weekly'' by Ernest Hardy )〕 ''Film Journal International'',〔(''Film Journal International'' by David Noh )〕 ''Time Out New York'',〔(''Time Out New York'' by Andrew Schenker )〕 Village Voice, among many others. The Dzi Croquettes were a groundbreaking dance and theater group who used their talent and a mix of humor and derision to challenge the violent dictatorship that gripped Brazil in the 1970s. Creating a new stage language that would influence an entire generation, this theater group revolutionized the gay movement despite being banned and censored by the military regime. Through interviews and archival footage of the group’s incredible performances, directors Raphael Alvarez and Tatiana Issa reveal the origin of the group, their relentless perfectionism, and their unexpected stroke of luck when Liza Minnelli becomes a godmother of sorts to them. However, it also gives a very honest account of the sadness of their final years when tension, egos, AIDS, and even murder ripped them apart. Winner of the Jury and Audience awards for best documentary at this year’s Rio and São Paulo film festivals, Dzi Croquettes combines juicy interviews with group members and current Brazilian and International artist to bring this unique act to a whole new generation. Through it all, we see how this group never flinched from challenging conventional notions of acceptable “masculine” or “feminine” behavior.〔() Official Palm Springs Film Festival ]〕 ==Awards== *2009 - Festival do Rio (Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival) - Best Documentary Jury Award *2009 - Festival do Rio (Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival) - Best Documentary Audience Award *2009 - São Paulo International Film Festival - Best Documentary Itamaraty Award (Foreign Ministry Award) *2009 - São Paulo International Film Festival - Best Documentary Audience Award *2009 - 17th Mix Brazil International Film Festival - Best Documentary Audience Award *2009 - 5th Festcine Goiania - Best Editing *2010 - Festival IN-EDIT 2010 - (In-Edit Documentary Film Festival) - Best Documentary Award *2010 - LABRFF 2010 - (Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival) - Best Documentary Award *2010 - San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival - Frameline Outstanding Documentary Jury Award〔(Frameline34 Awards Announced ) Official Frameline website.
