Deaf Conversations About Cinema: I'm Still Here
Please note: This event took place in Feb 2025
Join us at the 18:00 DS screening of I'm Still Here on Mon 24 Feb which will feature an introduction from Dr Lucas de Abreu Maia, Lecturer in Politics with Quantitative Research Methods at the University of Bristol. He is originally from Brazil and had a previous life as a journalist before he became an academic. He is, incidentally, a massive cinephile.
This will be followed at 20:30 by a post-screening discussion in the Café & Bar with Lucas and audience members. The evening will be hosted by Deaf artist, performer and filmmaker David Ellington and will feature BSL interpretation throughout.
Walter Salles makes a triumphant return with an emotionally layered, visually rich account of family life under an oppressive regime in 1970s Brazil.
The Paiva family are shattered when Ernesto is abducted by the military junta and Eunice (renowned Brazilian actor Fernanda Torres) must lead their family and fight for justice.
Salles’ adaptation of Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s 2015 memoir is a profoundly moving portrait of resistance – the intelligent and humane kind of cinema we have come to expect from the director ofCentral StationandThe Motorcycle Diaries.
