Rita Moreira: Crônicas, Memórias e Videotape

Drawing on the idea that memory is an editing room, veteran lesbian filmmaker Rita Moreira revisits her trajectory through her films. Moving between images of 1970s New York—where she self-exiled during Brazil’s military dictatorship—and more recent works from the late 2010s, the film weaves together time and experience to reflect on the political, social, and emotional transformations that shape both Brazil’s history and the director’s life.

Directed by Sérgio Santos Barroso, Rita Moreira: Crônicas, Memórias e Videotape leans on a strong ensemble — Rita Moreira — 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 2026.
