From 27 October to 1 November 2026, Cinemateca MAM Rio presents the fourth Mostra Petrobras de Cinema Brasileiro, Matérias da memória. The programme explores both the films and the ways they are preserved: film stock, restored prints, digital versions and the opportunity to see a work on the big screen again.
Which films can you watch?
The opening on 27 October features Os irmãos Segreto, a documentary about Brazilian cinema pioneers. The next day brings a restored version of Gilda de Abreu’s 1946 O ébrio. On 29 October, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s contemporary O agente secreto screens on 35 mm film.
Walter Lima Jr.’s A lira do delírio screens on 30 October, with a discussion of cinematographer Dib Lutfi’s work. Saturday 31 October offers digitised amateur films from the JB-Mesbla festival and a discussion of restoration. Glauber Rocha’s A idade da Terra closes the programme on 1 November, also in 35 mm.
Choosing a screening
In-person screenings take place in MAM Rio’s Cosme Alves Netto auditorium, Avenida Infante Dom Henrique, 85. Age ratings differ: O agente secreto is rated 16, for example, and A idade da Terra 18. Choose your film on the museum website and check the time and ticket arrangements.
The online course on 31 October is separate from the in-person screenings and requires its own registration. Plan a journey to the museum for the film screening you select.
An evening at MAM
Give Hola Taxi MAM Rio, the Cosme Alves Netto auditorium, screening date and time, your hotel and passenger count. Allow for a post-film discussion when planning the return if you intend to stay. You can discuss an arrival at GIG or SDU and the evening museum visit as separate journeys.
