The Star of Manas Had No Idea She Was the Lead Role — Until Premiere Night

Описание: Manas is the result of ten years of experience, research, and conviction. Director Marianna Brennand began developing the film after learning about the ongoing sexual violence faced by women and girls on Marajó Island. What was first imagined as a documentary evolved into her first fiction feature, a piece that protects survivors by refusing to recreate their trauma while still confronting the horrific systems that enable it.

Following an exclusive Collider screening, Brennand joined Perri Nemiroff for a Q&A to discuss the evolution of Manas, from finding the idea for the film to the moment she realized the script had found its voice. Brennand also reflects on the decision to center the film on Marcielle, the research that went into crafting the story, and the responsibility she felt toward the young actors bringing that story to screen.
