In Brazil, the "Cinema Novo" movement created a particular way of making movies with critical and intellectual screenplays, a clearer photography related to the light of the outdoors in a tropical landscape, and a political message. The film "&lt;a href="O%20Pagador%20de%20Promessas"&gt;The Given Word / Keeper of Promises&lt;/a&gt;" (1962) by Anselmo Duarte, won the Palme d'Or at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first (and to date the only) Brazilian film to achieve that feat. A year later, it also became the first Brazilian and South American film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Director Glauber Rocha was the key figure of the Brazilian Cinema Novo movement, famous for his trilogy of political films: "Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol", "Terra em Transe" (1967) and "O Dragão da Maldade Contra o Santo Guerreiro" (1969), for which he won the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.
