show moreWe know that art can flourish under despots, but we're reluctant to admit it. Brazil's living a golden era of filmmaking that had started before Bolsonaro came into power but has only gone higher and higher since the ultra-conservative military officer-turned-politician took power in 2018.
The more repressive Brazilian government has gone into cutting funding and aid towards Film and Culture, the brighter and more powerful response has been the response from Brazilian artists and filmmakers community.
Despite the total strangulation from the government, Brazilian films continue finding ways to be made - and, what is more - keep fascinating the world. New filmmakers go on to conquer the world's most prestigious film festivals, just take a look at the awards lists of major festivals in the last three years. The quality and quantity of great Brazilian films coming out to the world in the last decade is quite unbelievable.
So here is a long-overdue wee tribute to Brazilian cinema. Just a taster of why Brazil has become such an incredible cinema powerhouse.
