In early 2021, a group of Brazilian filmmakers working and living outside of Brazil launched The Brazilian Filmmakers Collective (BrFC) with a goal of creating a hub for shared resources, opportunities and to amp up creativity. Supporting each other through weekly gatherings, their mission has grown into championing Brazilian talent and content on the international scene. These creators span diverse backgrounds, working in different styles and genres. Their films have screened in festivals such as Sundance, Venice, Berlin, Toronto, SXSW and Locarno. The UCLA Film & Television Archive is excited to welcome The Brazilian Filmmakers Collective in conversation with their films over two nights of programs that include short and feature length documentary and narrative work.
