Cinema Tropical has announced the U.S. virtual theatrical release of the Brazilian documentary film My Darling Supermarket (Meu Querido Supermercado), the auspicious debut feature by Tali Yankelevich. Her witty and humorous portrait of a Brazilian supermarket opens on Wednesday, February 24, 2021 at Film Forum in New York City, followed by other cities nationwide.
A production by Brazil s Casa Redonda, in co-production with Denmark s Good Company Pictures and Brazil s Mão Direita, My Darling Supermarket had its world premiere in the IDFA Competition for First Appearance and has successfully played in numerous film festivals including MoMA s Documentary Fortnight, Visions du Réel, Edinburgh, Thessaloniki, Guadalajara, and DOXA, among others.
In 1971, Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, and more embarked on an anti-Vietnam War road show titled
F.T.A. that toured through Southeast Asia. A response to Bob Hope’s USO tour, they took their title from the original Army recruitment slogan “Fun, Travel, Adventure” and redubbed it “Free The Army or F The Army.” As one might expect, controversy followed and the Army tried to limit the troops’ access to performances, even though audiences enjoyed the subversive material. Captured by director Francine Parker, the resulting documentary was released a year later in July 1972, around the time of Fonda’s Hanoi visit, and was subsequently pulled from theaters within a week after its arrival, with many copies being destroyed.
