The Ipiranga Museum, one of São Paulo’s most beloved cultural centers, will now also be hosting film screenings! The “Cinema at the Museum” project, which starts in April, will screen Brazilian films and documentaries free of charge.
The novelty aims to expand the museum’s program, which focuses on Brazilian history. The selection of films will focus on historical episodes in Brazil, such as the indigenous experience and the period of slavery. Check it out!
“Cinema at the Museum”: Ipiranga to host free screenings
The first edition of “Cinema at the Museum” will take place on April 5, with a screening of the documentary “Tava, a Casa de Pedra“. The film, directed by indigenous people Patrícia Ferreira Pará Yxapy and Ariel Ortega Kuaray Poty, deals with the relationship between native peoples and the Jesuit missions, claiming the right of the marginalized to tell their own story.
On that occasion, the directors will be present for a chat, delving into the story and establishing a dialog with the spectators. In this way, the Ipiranga Museum strengthens its place as a space for debate and memory in São Paulo society.
Biannual project
The idea is that “Cinema at the Museum” will take place every six months, bringing a new movie to the Ipiranga Museum each time. The next edition will be in November and will show the movie “Todos os mortos”, by Caetano Gotardo and Marco Dutra. The historical drama is set in São Paulo in 1899 and deals with the reality of the country after the abolition of slavery.
All the screenings will take place in the Ipiranga auditorium, with free admission. So if you’re curious to take part, keep an eye on the museum’s website or social media so you don’t miss any news!
