The 22nd edition of the Brazilian Film Festival will be returning to Miami September 14 to 23. The festival will feature a collection of short and featured films that showcase the best of Brazilian cinema.
The Brazilian Film Festival is an exclusive Brazilian content film festival held outside of Brazil. For the past 22 years it has celebrated the culture, diversity, and artistic vision that is unique to Brazil. The past year has been extremely successful for Brazilian cinema with many different genres of film, each with their own artistic vision. From this extraordinary collection, eight have been selected for this festival’s competitive screenings.
This edition’s tribute will honor Calos Diegues, one of the world’s most prolific filmmakers. He was one of the founders of Cinema Novo and directed films that were essential to Brazilian cinematography. The festival will be showcasing some of his films at the special screenings in Fort Lauderdale. One of his most successful films, “Bye Bye Brasil,” will be the festival’s closing film.
The eight competitive screenings include:
In addition to these titles, the festival will also be screening films debating contemporary issues, which were selected in the program “University Series” in partnership with Florida International University.
The screenings begin at 7pm each night, so make sure you do not miss any of the cultural immersion into Brazil!
