3 Episodes

As his acclaimed latest THE SECRET AGENT comes to theaters, catch up with the bold, gripping, and fearlessly political cinema of Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho. Fusing slow-burn suspense with incisive social commentary, his features NEIGHBORING SOUNDS and BACURAU (the latter codirected with Juliano Dornelles) twist genre conventions into subversive explorations of class conflict, urban transformation, and the lingering legacy of colonial violence, while his deeply personal documentary PICTURES OF GHOSTS is a poetic journey through the history of Mendonça’s home city of Recife through the prism of cinema and architecture.
