27th Inffinito Brazilian Film Festival

September 25 2023

The Inffinito Brazilian Film Festival is part of the South Florida cultural events calendar and has become a tradition in Miami since the city has hosted the annual Festival for almost three decades. It is also a Festival that reaches New York holding events at Central Park, Brooklyn Park, and Rainey Park in Astoria, Queens.

In 2023, the Festival celebrates 27 years of milestones and achievements thanks to the efforts of Inffinito Arts Foundation creators and directors – Adriana L. Dutra, Claudia Dutra, and Viviane B. Spinelli.

As a pioneer, Inffinito’s annual event is the largest and most important Festival of Brazilian culture worldwide and a reference for promoting and disseminating Brazil, Brazilian products and services in the US and the international market. Inffinito has hosted 94 festivals in 13 countries, 68 concerts by renowned Brazilian musicians, and presented more than 2000 Brazilian films.

To celebrate Brazil internationally and the 27 years of the Inffinito Brazilian Film Festival, we prepared a vast program that translates contemporary Brazil. There will be concerts, films, outdoor cinema, parties, tributes, and lots of Brazilian culture – in person and virtually – throughout American territory.

The selection of 60 films, including documentaries and features, premiering in the US, seek to reflect the plurality of Brazilian audiovisual production, that influenced by the country’s current situation is making a profound sociopolitical reflection, stimulating the rescue of memories and empowering ideas and thoughts.

The virtual screenings will be held from August 5 to September 30 and will be available throughout the US at www.inff.online. In addition to the documentaries in competition, the public can follow recent releases and two thematic exhibitions specially prepared for this edition: the LGBTQIAPN+ Screenings and the Indigenous Screenings.

There is also a tribute to filmmaker Tetê Moraes for her 80 years of life dedicated to cinema, journalism, and literature, always focusing on women in Brazilian society.

Two great open-air concerts with the singer, rapper, and composer Emicida, considered one of the biggest names in contemporary hip hop, wrap up this grand celebration of Brazilian culture. The concerts occur on September 3 at SummerStage, in Central Park, in New York, with free admission, and on September 9, at the Miami Beach Bandshell.

 

The 2023 program for the 27th edition of the Brazilian Film Festival takes place from August 5 to September 30, 2023.
