The party starts here! Join us as we kick off the very first nationwide Brazilian Film Festival in Australia with a night of music, drinks and the best of Brazilian cinema.

Fresh from the Berlinale, where it took home both the Crystal Bear and Best Film in the Generation section, Gugu’s Worldis the heart-warming, colourful and joyful film we’ve chosen to open the festival. Directed by Allan Deberton and starring Yuri Gomes alongside Brazilian icon Lázaro Ramos and Teca Pereira, it’s a celebration of imagination, family and the courage to be exactly who you are.

Arrive early, grab a drink, feel the Brazilian rhythm and toast with us before the lights go down. This is a night to celebrate Brazilian stories, Brazilian talent and the community that brings them to life here in Australia. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your alegria!
