PARANÁ IDENTITY(IES) IN CINEMA?
- 12/06/25 - Thursday | 13:30 - 14:45
This seminar, organized in partnership with AVEC-PR (the Association of Video and Cinema of Paraná), offers an in-depth look at film production in the state of Paraná. Rather than simply providing a historical overview, the panel will explore whether a distinct Paraná cinematic identity exists – what unites or distinguishes the films made here, and how some have (or haven’t) managed to break out beyond local audiences and venues.
