The best of Brazilian cinema
"When we decided on the theme ‘The Faces of Brazil’ this year, images of various smiling faces immediately came to my mind. I remembered how Brazilians can be warm, spontaneous, and creative. And how, even in the face of adversity, they manage to find something to laugh about." – Gabriela Šmaiclová, festival programmer

Program of the 12th edition of the festival
THE FACES OF BRAZIL
This is this year's festival theme. Through film, we want to show you that Brazil is much more than just samba, carnival, and football. Our film festival is also a place where travelers, Brazil enthusiasts, and film lovers meet, and where international friendships are formed. We screen films in their original versions with Czech and English subtitles, so everyone can enjoy them.
As this year’s theme suggests, the films we have selected reflect the many different “faces of Brazil.” Yet they share something in common: both in front of and behind the camera are people who want to bring to light overlooked stories worth attention. Thanks to them, we can be carried away by images of a distant tropical world and at the same time peek beneath the surface. Because in each of these stories lies an authentic testimony about a Brazil we might never have imagined.
Each year, our film festival brings you only first-rate films. This year there are seven. To make your experience even more authentic and to help you understand Brazil more deeply, we always prepare a rich accompanying program that starts a week before the festival itself.
Come enjoy a piece of Brazil with us!
