É Tudo Verdade / It's All True

In 2020, It’s All True celebrates its 25th anniversary. Continuing a partnership that has been developing for more than a decade now, Itaú Cultural is once again proud to support the international documentary film festival. Just as in previous years, the Institute will be hosting competition screenings and also showing films from past festivals. The festival’s opening film will be screened at the Ibi- rapuera Auditorium in São Paulo.

For two years, Itaú Cultural has been dedicating its Tuesday agenda to the ‘seventh art’, following a monthly, theme-based pro- gram that also offers courses and debates. Between March 3 and 31, the Institute is presenting a retrospective with six works that have won awards in the festival in the past. Furthermore, our website, itaucultural.org.br, also has its own cycle of screenings.

Every year, at the ‘Audiovisual and Literature’ center, the institute presents an extensive program dedicated to the accessing and distribution of Brazilian productions. In 2019, two of the six films screened as part of the ‘Occupation’ program paid tribute to important names in Brazilian culture who have been involved in cinema: Ocupação Eduardo Coutinho, about the life and work of the creator of ‘Cabra Marcado para Morrer’, and Ocupação Vladimir Herzog, that presents Vlado’s interrupted dream of becoming a filmmaker.

‘Occupation’ is a program that takes a look back at individuals who have been central to our culture, having already explored the work of the filmmakers Luiz Sergio Person (2016) and Rogério Sganzerla (2010), and the actors Laura Cardoso (2017) and Sergio Britto (2013). Take a look at the articles, in- terviews and part of the content of the exhibitions at itaucultural.org.br/ocupacao.
