Exhibition in Porto recovers Brazilian experimental cinema produced during the dictatorship

Five Brazilian short films produced during the military dictatorship will be screened for free in Porto. The event, titled "Brazil is a country that misses the future," features works by northeastern filmmakers who navigated censorship and political repression. Curator Sofia Belém highlights the intersection of poetry and politics in these experimental films. The selection aims to introduce lesser-known Brazilian cinema to Portuguese audiences, focusing on filmmakers from the Northeast, particularly Recife. The program includes titles like "A Flor do Lácio é Vadia" and "Isso é que é," showcasing unique artistic expressions. The screening will honor Jomard Muniz de Britto, one of the featured directors.
