‘Ginga, it’s in our blood, it’s a gift given by God especially to Brazilians who play football and learn to dance from an early age. I think Brazilians are given Ginga when they’re born and continue to improve it through childhood.’ – Ronaldo

Pele, Zico, Jairzinho, Renaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar… Some of world’s greatest footballers all have one thing in common: they all hail from Brazil, the land of footballing legends, and this year’s World Cup hosts.

But what is it about the country that creates such amazing talent?

A brand new awe-inspiring documentary Ginga: The Soul of Brazilian Football explores the essence of what makes Brazil one of the greatest footballing nations ever known. Ginga is the mysterious, indefinable magical quality of rhythm and movement which sets the Brazilian game apart from all the others.

Produced by Fernando Meirelles (City of God, The Constant Gardener) and directed by Marcelo Machado (Tropicalia), Hank Levine and Tocha Alves, Ginga kicks off on DVD on 12 May 2014.

The British Library, the world’s largest library, has unveiled a new free online film which sheds light on the unique resources available to filmmakers, directors, producers and screenwriters who are looking for inspiration, research, networking and business support.

In this film, Shelagh Rowan-Legg, writer, film critic and PhD film student at King’s College London, uses the Library’s collection to write her PhD in Spanish cinema. Her research explores common threads that run through Spanish fantasy films; how have they been influenced by cinema from around the world, and what makes them uniquely Spanish.
