Poster
Every year the International Film Festival invites an artist or filmmaker to make the poster art of the year. In this edition, the art, entitled “Volte a Sonhar”, is signed by the Brazilian muralist Eduardo Kobra.
The image of the girl having the city of São Paulo on the horizon and in connection with the image of the film “The Journey to the Moon” by Georges Méliès, made 120 years ago, symbolizes that cinema can open horizons in unimaginable places and take us to the universe of dreams, where different perspectives open up to fantasy and creativity.
