Mostra Cinepoesia 2025 is an action that promotes dialogue between cinema and poetry, with the screening of experimental short films, kinetic poetry or video poetry made by filmmakers, poets and multi- or transdisciplinary artists for a cinematographic event.
The event proposes the selection of approximately 20 authorial works for the screenings, unpublished or not, among them those selected from subscribers, guests and the Mostra collection.
We are looking for synergy between images, sounds and words in the works submitted. The presence of poetry is essential in the audiovisual works selected, whether narrated, spoken, sung or written.
This way of making cinepoetry is a powerful inspiration for us and opens doors for directors who work with materiality in contemporary poetics, using language experiments.
Our 2025 tribute goes to Lúcia Murat, an important Brazilian filmmaker. We highlight her experimental cine-poetic spirit, her ability to wander between documentary and fictional cinema, and her historical movement of resistance and memory of women's body-territory.
