A preeminent work of the Brazilian silent era, LIMITE was the first and only film by Mário Peixoto, who was reportedly only 18-years old when he began to direct it. Withdrawn from circulation for decades, it has achieved mythological status as an influential though seldom seen experimental classic.

Screening will be both preceded and followed by a selection of rare Brazilian music of the 1930s - 50s, from the collection of DJ Joe Bryl. Music will range from the folkloric, ritualistic and ceremonial to Brazilian forms of big band, jazz and samba.
