Festival Highlights
From the Coast to the Mountains

Cinema is only complete when it meets the eyes of the audience. In this shot, we capture the very essence of our festival: the exact moment when the lights go down and silence fills the space, uniting strangers in a shared emotional journey. Whether in the vibrant theaters of Rio or the historic plazas of Minas Gerais, the connection between the screen and the viewer is what drives us. This is where stories truly come to life and where the seeds of new perspectives are planted in every mind present.

Our festival is more than just a series of screenings; it is a space for deep connection and the exchange of ideas. This image reflects the vital moments of interaction where filmmakers and audiences meet to discuss the creative process and the challenges of national production. We believe that cinema is a powerful tool for social and cultural transformation, and these dialogues are essential to strengthening our community. Every question asked and every insight shared builds a bridge between the artwork and the reality of our world.

Our circuit is defined by the fascinating contrasts of our locations, moving from Rio’s urban coastline to the mountainous, cobblestone streets of inland Minas Gerais. This photo captures the unique atmosphere of our venues, where Brazilian heritage and cinematic innovation meet. The festival is a celebration of how different territories embrace art in their own distinct ways. It is an invitation for everyone to experience the beauty and diversity of our physical locations, making every screening a site-specific memory.
