Join us at Pelican House for the afternoon closing session of this year’s festival – an afternoon of Brazilian short films celebrating art, resilience, and social inclusion. These stories highlight musicians, athletes, and families who transform barriers into bridges through creativity, community, and care. For the first time, Brazil’s Mostra do Filme Marginal lands in London. Please click the signup link for further info on each of the films.
We are also hosting the closing evening session on Saturday 1st Nov from 6.45pm.
Mostra do Filme Marginal is an initiative that aims to value and promote independent film productions. It is not competitive; it aims at integration.
Our strategy is to use the project as an instrument of diffusion, reflection, encouragement, and collective organisation of the public towards a popular, authorial, and critical cinema. In this way, we open space for works that bring to the screen characters and themes marginalised by the current sociopolitical system, offering a critical gaze beyond commercial circuits.
This 5th edition, Cinema of Struggle: Art of Liberation, brings this cinema of resistance into focus — and now, to London.
