'Alvorada – departure in Brazil') is a 1962 West German documentary film directed by Hugo Niebeling.
It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature[2] and was entered in the 1963 Cannes Film Festival.
[3] The film offers an overview of Brazil, from the history of the country to the most recent developments at the time of its making - including industrialization and the new capital Brasília.
Instead, it uses experimental camera and editing techniques, often set to different kinds of music and electronic sounds by Oskar Sala.
The voice-over-narration (provided by Hugo Niebeling himself) only occasionally tells the viewer details about what they are seeing, often letting impressions speak for themselves.
