What they are saying…
It is incredibly exciting to see the San Francisco Brazilian Film Festival launch its first edition. Bringing an initiative dedicated to Brazilian cinema to a city as important and culturally vibrant as San Francisco creates a wonderful opportunity for new audiences to discover the diversity, creativity, and exceptional quality of the films being made in Brazil today. As someone who has seen firsthand the power of Brazilian cinema to connect with audiences abroad, I’m thrilled to welcome this new festival and wish them a fantastic first edition."
— Leandro Matos, Artistic Director, Brazil Film Fest – Toronto
It was such a wonderful festival, and I truly enjoyed being a part of it. I have great respect for all that you accomplished in bringing your vision to life. I hope Cinema Brazil continues to grow and flourish for many years to come. Please keep me posted on your progress — I’ll be very happy to continue supporting you and the festival in any way I can.”

The San Francisco Brazilian Film Festival was an amazing experience! I went for three days, and I loved all the films. As a Brazilian living in the US, I’m always looking for ways to stay connected to our culture and experience the best of Brazil, even from afar. The festival brought films I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to watch otherwise and created a wonderful space to meet friends, support Brazilian cinema, and have meaningful conversations..”

I am a long-time film curator and film festival consultant. For many years, I encountered people in the Bay Area who were interested in having a Brazilian film festival. It’s so audacious that you took the initiative and that you successfully pulled off the first San Francisco Brazilian Film Festival and attracted an enthusiastic public. I appreciated the variety in the lineup - recent films (Gugu’s World), classics (Central Station), shorts, the representation of Afro-Brazilians, and queer stories. You’ve introduced and whetted the appetite of Bay Area audiences for Brazilian cinema. We want more. Congratulations!.”
— Cornelius Moore, Full-access pass holder
The San Francisco Brazilian Film Festival is exactly the kind of space our stories need. Bringing a festival dedicated to Brazilian cinema to San Francisco opens a window into the richness, diversity, and soul of Brazil—its people, landscapes, struggles, and joys. I’m honored to be part of this first edition and can’t wait to see this festival grow into a lasting home for Brazilian cinema in the Bay Area.”
— Angelisa Stein, Director & Producer, Clay Men
The San Francisco Brazilian Film Festival was wonderful!!! I went on Saturday and wanted to congratulate you at the end of the evening, but you had so many other ‘fans’ who wanted to do the same! I loved the variety of films that you selected. I was lucky enough to see The Blue Trail at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival, but having the opportunity to see Gugu's World and Marighella on the big screen was a gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't wait until next year.

Having two films I acted in selected for the San Francisco Brazilian Film Festival — At the End, Jazz and Clay Men — feels like a very special milestone in my journey as an actor. These are two very different films, born from very different places, but both carry something deeply Brazilian in the way they tell their stories. To see characters and stories I helped bring to life travel all the way from Brazil to San Francisco is incredibly meaningful. I’m proud to be part of this first edition and, most of all, to see our cinema reaching new places and new audiences.”
