Moon River

In the Amazon, Fábio and Igor experience a territory of discovery during their youth. This journey is interrupted by the departure of Fábio to another city.

O Que Acontece Por Trás Das Câmeras

PRESENÇA

Memoria Digitalis

In the footsteps of Sérgio Cardoso

A century after his birth, Sérgio Cardoso — one of the greatest stars of Brazilian theater and television — still inhabits the country’s cultural imagination. A symbol of a generation that helped shape modern stage language in Brazil, his presence endures as an artistic, political, and emotional legacy. Through archives, memories, and the rehearsals of the play “Six Actors in Search of Sérgio Cardoso,” the documentary moves between past and present to explore not only the trajectory of a monumental actor, but also what remains of an artist when time transforms men into myth. As a new generation of performers attempts to rediscover his voice, rigor, and restless spirit, the film reveals how Sérgio Cardoso continues to resonate within contemporary theater — as a ghost, an inspiration, and a founding force of a stage tradition still trying to understand itself.

Featuring interviews with DJs, staff, and patrons of Crepúsculo de Cubatão, the film explores the influence of British culture on the music and behavior of young people who were then labeled “darks.” More than simply telling the story of a venue, the documentary reveals the origins and behind-the-scenes dynamics of the vibrant cultural scene in Rio de Janeiro that emerged during Brazil’s political opening.

Now, however, she must go through a high-risk surgery. The fear of death and of the truth being revealed are manifested through memories of her adolescence, in the city of Nova Iguaçu, Baixada Fluminense. Seeking for Cesario, her first boyfriend, she returns to a place unseen to her eyes for many decades, from which her only vivid memories are the scent of the orange trees.

More than movie theaters, they emerge as gathering places, sites of cultural resistance, and symbols of the enduring relationship between the city and the seventh art.
