EXCLUSIVE: The subversive and experimental works of Portuguese filmmaker João César Monteiro have long been unavailable or difficult to view in the U.S. thanks to tight copyright laws and poor preservation. The NYC-based Cinema Guild has acquired North American distribution rights to Monteiro’s films and is planning a broad theatrical retrospective of the films—all newly restored in 4K—in the U.S. and Canada in early 2025.
