Tenda dos Milagres is a 1977 Brazilian drama film written and directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos, based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Jorge Amado. Starring Hugo Carvana, Sonia Dias and Severino Dada, it exposes and satirizes racism in Brazilian society—the most notable example being a flashback scene where Brazilians are shown listening with approving interest to Nazi race theories in the late 1930s. Tenda dos Milagres was shot in Salvador, Bahia.
It won the Best Film Award and Best Score Award, and dos Santos won the Best Director Award and Dias the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 10th Festival de Brasília.[1] It was entered into the 27th Berlin International Film Festival.[2] The film was also selected as the Brazilian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 50th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[3]
