Filmmaker Luiz de Barros.
Status: Partially Found
Luiz de Barros is a Brazilian filmmaker and theater director, He was the Brazilian who directed the most films, of which directed more than 97 films between 1916 and 1980. He began his career studying law in Brazil and plastic arts in Europe.[1]
He directed the first Brazilian sound film, called Acabam-se os Otários. In his autobiography, Minhas Memórias de Cineasta, Luiz de Barros reveals that the idea of shooting the film, as well as its title, arose in a conversation with a businessman in the sector, to whom he said he would make a sound film. Without knowing the technique, he went to the Gaumont studios and saw how the cameras recorded the actors' performance while a gramophone reproduced the sound recorded in advance: it was play-back.[2]
Using this technique, Barros recorded the dialogues on discs, which were played in cinemas by technician Moacyr Fenelon.
Status
Of the more than 97 Barros films created (and documented), only 34 exist today. Most of Barros' films that exist have been restored by Cinédia.[3]
