Cinema Diversity

Directors who dared to touch on the LGBT theme (in a serious and innovative way, avoiding stereotypes) in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, in the midst of the Brazilian military dictatorship.

It focuses on the recent crop of documentary feature films that rescue the memory and history of the Brazilian LGBT culture of the last 50 years.

The focus of those films is the youth discovering their sexuality.

Transsexuality (and its ramifications) is the subject of those films carried out by transvestites, transsexuals, transgenders, drag queens, cross-dressers, in a movement of overturning of genres and sexual identities.

The universe of female homosexuality, almost invisible in Brazilian cinema, comes to the fore: why is there no representation for gay women in national films?

The bustling production of LGBT cinema in the capital of Pernambuco. On the agenda, the gay personality of the city, defying the macho tradition of the region.

The LGBT cinematographic production of the capital of Ceará.

The Marvelous City is eclectic when it comes to LGBT cinema, with filmmakers trailing comedy of manners while others seek documentary realism.

Films that dare to break limits, sometimes blurring the boundaries between eroticism and pornography and defying the rules of commercial cinema.

Directors whose works flirt indirectly or directly with so-called cine trash, in a profusion of creativity without limits and without concern for good taste or the "culture norm."
