The figure of his son - the outlaw All or Nothing - is the thread that runs through this political and existential narrative. Worshipped by women, the cut-rate Don Juan commits robbery in order to enjoy a wide variety of material pleasures, following in his father's footsteps - “I had the most beautiful women in the third world but I never resorted to violence in order to steal jewels or kisses”. Meanwhile, in his prison cell (while doing time for robbery and forgotten by the system), the old Red Light Bandit reflects on his own life while the nattilydressed, well-mannered All-or-Nothing sells his loot in the port city of Santos, where he is a regular at the “Enigma” nightclub. In investigative circles, everyone is asking the same question: “Who is that man? Might he be a mere copy of Red Light?” Rumors run wild, and panic grips the third world megalopolis.

A major player in several avant-garde movements, she has been called the MUSE OF CINEMA NOVO. Her creative partnership with Rogerio Sganzerla began in 1968, and she acted in nearly all his films from O Bandido da Luz Vermelha [The Red Light Bandit] until his final feature O Signo do Caos [The Sign of Chaos]. Her career as a producer spans forty years, and includes work in the legitimate theater as well as in motion pictures. Among the many tributes she has been accorded was a 25-film retrospective at the 20th edition of the FRIBOURG FILM FESTIVAL (2006, Switzerland), which included her first film O Pátio [The Patio] directed by Glauber Rocha. On that same occasion, the CINE-INSTALLATION “Electric Sganzerland”, directed by her, was exhibited at the Centre D´Art Contemporain Kusthalle - Fri-Art. helena ignez FILMOGRAPHY Light in Darkness – The Return of the Red Light Bandit (2010) - Director • 63º Locarno Film Festival - International Competition Feature Films: Baal´s Song – Director (2008) • IX Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival - Brazil; • 32º São Paulo International Film Festival- Brazil; • Hommage in the 12º Festival de Cinema Luso – Brasileiro, Portugal; • Festival de Tiradentes - Brazil; • 4º Cineport, 2009 - Brazil; • Marché Du Film - 62º Cannes Film Festival, 2009; Awards • Best Film in the 37º Gramado Film Festival – Brazil, by the Critics Choice • Award Anno Uno in the 8º Il Mille Occhi Film Festival - Trieste, Italy- 2009; • 12 º BAFICI- International Film Fest.

Rogério Sganzerla is one of Brazilian independent cinema’s foremost film makers. His first feature [The Red Light Bandit (1968)] is celebrated as one of the most revolutionary and innovative films of all time and has been accorded world heritage status by UNESCO. In 1970, with director Julio Bressane and Helena Ignez, Sganzerla co-founded the legendary film production company Belair, which produced seven ground-breaking motion pictures over a three-month period. Other Sganzerla films include Abismu (1977) and his tetralogy on Orson Welles’ 1942 visit to Brazil, which includes his last film [The Sign of Chaos]. Rogério Sganzerla died in 2004. In 2003, he was awarded the Cultural Merit Medal by Brazilian president Lula da Silva. In 2004 and 2005, the Torino Film Festival paid tribute to Sganzerla with a complete retrospective of his work. His films are currently being revived and accorded highly successful reception the world over.
