Viva Viva
Jun 12—14, 2026
Directed by Carolina Pfister (2012)
Experience the lives of the punks residing in São Paulo, who turned to the genre as a form of catharsis under the violent grip of Brazilian dictatorship. From Toca, a young man building his home by hand, to Elisa, an innovator of the city’s queer punk scene, Pfister follows punks across the city who represent the working class movement that developed a distinct subculture.
The July 12 screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Carolina Pfister.
