Vinicius Jr.’s First Movie Production and the Latest from Berlinale Teddy Winner Daniel Ribeiro Feature in Festival do Rio Goes to Cannes (EXCLUSIVE)


Also in the mix, first fiction features by Leticia Pires, Ulisses Arthur, Cintia Domit Bittar and Carol Rodrigues.

Goes To titles take in not just Rio de Janeiro (“Clarice and the Stars”) but São Paulo (“Amanda and Caio,” “Sistermaids”), Alagoas in Brazil’s Northeast (“We Are Not Dreaming”) and Santa Catarina in the South (“Virtuous Women”) The lineup also says a lot about currents, both artistic and industrial, coursing through contemporary Brazilian filmmaking. Vinicius Jr.’s involvement “reinforces the project’s mission to offer a meaningful and inclusive cinematic experience—one where many who have rarely seen themselves on screen can finally feel represented,” adds Marcos Pieri, a creative producer at Aurora E². “By blending acid humor, social critique of ultraconservatism, Christian fundamentalist denialism and uncanny suspense, the film weaves a tense journey of power and paranoia while also highlighting the danger of underestimating reactionary women’s movements,” she says.
