About
Pinus International Film Festival is a festival of movement, technology, body, cities, nature. Films that point to a challenge of filming great ideas with low resources. Bringing extreme emotions, strong interpretations and dense aesthetics puts us in a position to talk about new forms of representation.
PIFF encourages dialogue between cultures with its ways of keeping memories. This year the festival’s theme is “Memory”, with something outside the traditional narrative perspective, to see other possible ways of making cinema and absorbing cinema and reflecting on cinema. In addition to film screenings, PIFF will have open spaces for lively conversations with samba jazz and vegan feijoada. The festival takes place in the Pinheiros region of São Paulo, Brazil, open to the public inside the Casa de Liège Cultural Center, on November 6th and 13th, 2022.
