LC Barreto – 60 Years of Brazilian Cinema
Join us for an unmissable cinematic celebration honouring Luiz Carlos Barreto, one of the most influential producers in Brazilian film history. This special retrospective brings to the UK a carefully curated selection of his most iconic works, spanning six decades of storytelling that helped define the face of Brazilian cinema.
Curated by Adriana Rouanet, the programme includes classics such as:
Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands
Bye Bye Brazil
Four Days in September
Garrincha: The People’s Joy
Memoirs of Prison
Reaching for the Moon
Entranced Earth, among others.
Barreto’s films explore themes of love, identity, resistance, and Brazilian popular culture, often blending poetic realism with biting social critique.
This event is brought to you by the Instituto Rouanet in partnership with The Garden Cinema and ICA, as part of a broader effort to promote Brazilian culture on the international stage.
A must for film lovers, Latin American culture enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Brazil’s rich cinematic legacy.
