Brasília, ContradiçÔes de uma Cidade Nova

In 1967, de Andrade was invited by the Italian company Olivetti to produce a documentary on the new Brazilian capital city of BrasĂ­lia. Constructed during the latter half of the 1950s and founded in 1960, the city was part of an effort to populate Brazil’s vast interior region and was to be the embodiment of democratic urban planning, free from the class divisions and inequalities that characterize so many metropolises. Unsurprisingly, BrasĂ­lia, ContradiçÔes de uma Cidade Nova (BrasĂ­lia, Contradictions of a New City, 1968) revealed BrasĂ­lia to be utopic only for the wealthy, replicating the same social problems present in every Brazilian city.
