But the success of Brazilian film at home and abroad came after many years of struggle by filmmakers determined to create a strong film industry in Brazil. At the forefront of this struggle were the filmmakers of Cinema Novo, the internationally acclaimed movement whose flowering in the 1960s marked the birth of modern Brazilian film. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCinema Novo x 5\u003c\/i\u003e places the success of Brazilian cinema in perspective by examining the films of the five leaders of this groundbreaking movement--Andrade, Diegues, Guerra, Rocha, and dos Santos.
