The documentary "Cinema Novo", directed by Eryk Rocha and produced by Coqueirão Pictures and Aruac Filmes, won the L’oeil D’or award at Cannes Film Festival! The film was shown in the official selection of the event, in the Cannes Classics showcase, whose purpose is to exhibit restored classics and documentaries about the seventh art.

The feature is a poetic essay about the Cinema Novo cinematographic movement, which revolutionized artistic creation in the 60s and 70s, and includes excerpts of films from that period and testimonials from its main exponents, such as Nelson Pereira do Santos, Leon Hirszman, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Ruy Guerra, Walter Lima Jr., Paulo César Saraceni, and Glauber Rocha.

"Cinema Novo is a manifesto-film about the validity of an almost forgotten cinematographic movement in the 1960s", indicated the jury of the award, disputed by the documentaries presented in Cannes.

This was the second edition in which the L’oeil D’or was awarded.
