Quote:
(…) Ferreira finest and most political film is Horror Palace Hotel. This forty-minute piece does many things at once: it is an essay about the state of Brazilian cinema, which unfortunately has not yet dated enough; a spot-on look at how film functions within a film festival; a haunted house movie; and a contagious narrative. It was shot during the 1978 Brasilia Film Festival, where a small horror sidebar is going on, in the hotel where everyone that works around the festival (filmmakers, journalists) is staying. This most angry of Ferreira’s films, it is his most focused on achieving, through close observation and a perfect structure, both physical precision and an ambitious allegorical tendency. Using Rogério Sganzerla as a guide and José Mojica Marins as a main object, Horror Palace Hotel slowly arrives at its central targets by transgressing all borders. The horror sidebar becomes something much larger, thanks to Ferreira’s camera: it becomes whole repressed history of Brazilian cinema. Horror, we learn, is not just a genre there anymore, but everything that does not fit into official history; the film thus restages an invasion of the official event by those who represent the repressed. A new history of cinematic forms takes over.

Technical mistakes? This is a Brazil’s specialty, this land without know-how. The documentary which, as Marcio Souza said in his modesty, should be to current Brazilian cinema as Aruanda was to Cinema Novo, will be shown in Brasília – we hope – and should fall like a thorn inside the throat of all idiots who are yet to discover Brazil – by the way, Oswald de Andrade, anthropophagous, language designer, revolutionary and whatever more that could exist in this section of the Third World: Brazil.
– Jairo Ferreira

Quote:

“Jairo Ferreira lived for cinema, including Brazilian cinema; his filmic and written work can be seen as a vast map that involves the richness of Brazilian culture, movies and life – and the path one must take in order to turn it all into what Ferreira valued above all else: invention.”

Quote:
Jairro Ferreira is one of the most important film critics in Brazil. However, this definition would not be enough to describe Jairo. Author of “Cinema de Invenção”, book on the CINEMA MARGINAL period, Jairo was himself a Man of Cinema, a cinepoet. He did not limit to wirte about cinema, he was close friends to directors Rogerio Sganzerla, José Mojica Marins (“Coffin Joe”), among others. He made several of short films on Super-8 and two one-hour leght filmes, being one of them O VAMPIRO DA CINEMATECA aka THE VAMPIRE OF THE CINEMATHEQUE. A collage of words, images, scenes from other films and, obvious, Jairo’s 8 milimeteres shots. It’s hard to describr in words this supernatural cinematographic adventure, a visual poem, an act of faith, an act of cinema.
