The Cine MIS Festival, which starts today (Dec. 16) in São Paulo, will show 28 productions among short, medium, and feature films, selected from 600 works sent by producers from all regions of the country.
The selection was made by the filmmakers Glenda Nicácio, Duda Leite, and Bruno Cucio, and by the programmers from the Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS) Jéssica Silva, Júnior Oliveira, and Ícaro San Carlo.
The festival Cine MIS brings a social portrait of times in which the fight for identity, housing, justice, and rights permeates social relations and feeds the yearning for the construction of a new society,” says MIS in a press release.
Among the films is ‘Beautiful to Die for’, by director Catharina Felix, a documentary about the importance of beauty even after death.
Mixing fiction and reality, the film approaches the world of make-up artists.
Also on the exhibition will be ‘Nowhere’, by directors Thais de Almeida Prado and Flavia Couto.
The film is composed of the autobiographical look of eight women in relation to the cities where they live. It is a poetic essay about everyday experiences.
The complete program can be seen at MIS’ website.
