Berlinale Jury Member Kleber Mendonça Filho on Politics in Brazil | Berlinale Talents 2020
Kleber Mendonça Filho temporarily sets his jury duties aside to reflect on cinema in Brazil from his multiple vantage points as screenwriter, director, critic and festival organiser. Be it capital and the mechanics of exclusion it ignites among neighbours in a housing block in “Aquarius” (2016), or the supernatural occurrences that lead a community to redraw its boundaries in the recent “Bacurau” (2019), life is no easy affair in Filho’s cinema. Yet this uneasiness is far from artificial. Rather, it stems from the political situation and the social inequalities in contemporary Brazil, which he turns inside out in his filmmaking.
Berlinale Talents is the festival’s talent development programme for 250 emerging filmmakers and series creators from all over the world, featuring 30 public talks, workshops and screenings.
