Maputo - The embassy of Brazil in Mozambique on Monday held an exhibition of movies from Brics member states (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), drawing a large crowd of attendees. 

Before the exhibition, in the presence of the ambassadors and representatives of the embassies of Brics member states in Maputo, Brazilian ambassador Rodrigo Soares gave a brief explanation about Brics, the economy of the platform as well as its population and purposes. "As Brics our relations with other countries are based in non-interference in internal affairs of other countries, it is based on equality and common benefit," said the ambassador. 

The first film to be exhibited was a Brazilian movie about a young man travelling around Africa, followed by a Russian film on Tuesday, and then a break on Wednesday. 

The exhibition will resume on Thursday with an Indian movie, on Friday it will be a romantic movie from China and on Saturday a movie from South Africa about the country's liberation struggle.
