The 7th annual Amazonas Film Festival kicked off on Friday night with a red carpet event. Located on the Amazon River, Manaus, Brazil, is a sprawling city of 1.7 million inhabitants, but surrounded by jungle and accessible primarily by boat or plane.

The 82-year-old Carlos Manga, the president of the jury and a renowned Brazilian director and producer, entertains the audience (He later tells photographers to turn around and take pictures of the audience, so he will have a memory of this appreciative crowd).



Stay tuned for more updates from the Amazonas Film Festival.
