É Tudo Verdade / It's All True

It’s All True is celebrating its 24th year in 2019, and continuing a partnership that we have been developing for more than a decade, Itaú Cultural is once again proud to support the festival. The festival films were screened at the Institute and the Espaço Itaú de Cinema between 1999 and 2007, and since 2016 they have joined with a number of other spaces screening the films. Just as in previous years, the Latin American competition is to be held at the Itaú Cultural. Throughout April, in addition to It’s All True, which runs from April 4 to 14, our audiovisual program will be inspired by past festivals. Our website, itaucultural.org.br, will also be displaying a number of exhibitions.

Since 2018, we have dedicated every Tuesday of the Institute’s program to the “seventh art”, developing a different theme each month that involves courses and debates. Last year, for example, we presented an exhibition of ethnographic films along with a discussion on the market and the political economy of cinema. These events are in addition to the constant production of content (interviews, articles, etc.) that is published on our website.

In 2019, one of the main highlights of the cinema- -related program will be “Ocupação Eduardo Coutinho”, that will open in October. A director, journalist and documentary filmmaker, Coutinho was one of the biggest names in his area, and in the area of artistic expression in which It’s All True operates. By promoting both these activities, we are continuing our efforts to encourage these two points –rescuing the past and mapping the new.

“Ocupação” is a program that focuses on revisiting individuals who have been central to our culture, having already explored the work of the filmmakers Luiz Sergio Person and Rogério Sganzerla, and the actors Laura Cardoso and Sergio Britto, amongst others. Take a look at the articles and interviews, as well as part of the content of the exhibitions at itaucultural.org.br/ocupacao.For more information on Brazilian artists in the field of the moving image, and more, please visit the Itaú Cultural Encyclopedia of Brazilian Art and Culture (enciclopedia.itaucultural.org.br; in Portuguese).
