About Political Cinema
Through abrupt soundtrack shifts, this short film jumps between historical political imagery to explore the cinematic language of propaganda, unpacking complex concepts through sensory explosions — from the Brazilian military dictatorship to the Chinese revolution.
Directed by Erick Dilan, Political Cinema leans on a strong ensemble — Mao Zedong, Newton Cruz, Zhou Enlai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2025.
