The 9th Edition of Cine Jardim – Belo Jardim Latin American Film Festival aims to strengthen the dissemination of cinema in the interior of Brazil’s Northeast, fostering the development of new cinematic perspectives and sensibilities. The event will take place from August 17 to 21, 2026, in the city of Belo Jardim, in the Agreste region of Pernambuco.
Beyond its cultural dimension, Cine Jardim establishes itself as a training-oriented festival, especially dedicated to students from Elementary School (levels I and II) and High School, from both public and private schools in Belo Jardim. By bringing young audiences closer to Latin American cinema, the festival seeks to encourage critical thinking, creativity, and the development of a more conscious relationship with the images and narratives that shape everyday life.
More than just a film showcase, the festival serves as a space for encounter and reflection, allowing participants to access more complex and profound perspectives on the diverse realities that make up Latin America.
Keeping this window open in the interior is essential to broaden horizons, spark dialogue, and foster the recognition of other ways of existence—both real and possible.
On the white screen, not only images are projected, but also paths for exchange, listening, and transformation. In this way, Cine Jardim reaffirms its commitment to building a more sensitive, diverse, and inclusive world—one that feels closer to all of us.
