The 30th edition of É Tudo Truth-International Documentary Festival starts on Thursday (3) and will bring together 85 productions from 30 different countries. The event runs until April 13th and will take place simultaneously in five movie theaters in São Paulo and three of Rio de Janeiro.
The festival will also feature the premiere of two national documentaries that tell the lives of two Brazilian icons who have already died: Rita Lee and Marília Pêra. The first, eternalized in “Ritas”, by Oswaldo Santana, will have its trajectory aired on Wednesday (2), at 20:30, in the Brazilian Cinematheque, located in the south of São Paulo.
The awards ceremony of this year’s edition will take place on April 12, also in the Brazilian Cinematheque. The award -winning films will be reexized on April 13 – both in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
It’s all true is one of the important ways for the Oscar race, as the four winning documentaries of the official juries for Brazilian and international competitions of feature films/medium films and short films win the right to be enjoyed the dispute of the main awards of world cinema.
“The fact that this festival reaches this year its 30th edition confirms first of all our initial confidence: the documentary was demanding a specific annual window in the country that would provide public access to the rooms to excellence and the originality of Brazilian and international non-fictional production,” says Amir Labaki, curator of the festival.
This year’s edition of the festival will be in honor of the work of Vladimir Carvalho, filmmaker who died in 2024. Nine feature films will be exhibited by him in more than fifty years of career.
