You’re invited to join us for a theatrical screening of I’m Still Here, including an in-person conversation with actors Fernanda Torres and Selton Mello.

Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship. We are introduced to the Paivas: a father, Rubens; a mother, Eunice; and their five children. They live by the beach, in a rented house with doors constantly open to friends. The affection and humor they share among themselves are their own subtle forms of resistance to the oppression that hangs over the country. One day, they suffer a violent and arbitrary act that will forever change their lives. In the aftermath, Eunice is forced to reinvent herself and carve out a new future for herself and her children. The moving story of this family, based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, helped to reconstruct an important part of Brazil’s hidden history.

From Sony Pictures Classics, I’m Still Here was an Official Selection at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and the 2024 New York Film Festival, and an Official Selection and Winner of Best Screenplay at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
