4ª Autêntica Mostra Cinemas do Brasil busca filmes sobre cinemas de rua do país.
A Mostra Cinemas do Brasil homenageia o Cinema Rio Branco de Nazaré/BA, um dos mais antigos do Brasil em funcionamento, e apresenta um panorama de filmes que buscam homenagear os cinemas de rua do país e que propõem uma discussão sobre a atual situação desses monumentos arquitetônicos que, em sua maioria, antes mesmo da pandemia, encontravam-se de portas fechadas e sem nenhum tipo de reparo ou manutenção.
Busca-se exibir filmes que retratem ou dialoguem com cinemas de rua do Brasil, frequentadores desses espaços, cineclubismo e com o setor exibidor brasileiro. Para a “4ª Autêntica Mostra Cinemas do Brasil: Um Retrato dos nossos tempos”, contemplaremos também filmes que evidenciam diversos modos de ver, a preservação audiovisual e o advento de novas tecnologias exibidoras como o videocassete e posteriormente a decadência das videolocadoras, além de filmes que retratam as plataformas de streaming e o sistema Drive-In, únicas alternativas no passado recente.
Em três edições, a Autêntica Mostra Cinemas do Brasil já exibiu mais de 70 filmes sobre cinemas de rua do Brasil nos formatos presencial, virtual e em televisões públicas. A curadoria da 4ª Autêntica Mostra Cinemas do Brasil (Um retrato dos nossos tempos), será realizada por Eudaldo Monção Jr. (@MemorabiliaFilmes / @canoviajero), também idealizador e coordenador do projeto e diretor dos filmes ‘Cine Rio Branco’, ‘Recordações de ontem’, ‘Os cinemas do Brasil em tempos de pandemia’ e ‘Cinemas de rua de Aracaju’.
As exibições da quarta edição da Mostra Cinemas do Brasil, serão realizadas em diversas cidades brasileiras, de forma gratuita, em espaços culturais do país tais como: cinemas, cineclubes, escolas, pontos de cultura, bibliotecas, entre outros espaços, ou ainda no formato Drive-In com apoio de festivais parceiros. Os filmes serão exibidos também no formato virtual através do site da mostra www.mostracinemasdobrasil.com e em programas especiais em TV ‘s públicas brasileiras.

Films Festivals although are typically annual events, they acknowledge various genre of films, mostly from across the globe and encourage people engaged in cinema.

Filmmakers whose movies get accepted into a festival also get valuable press attention and exposure to prospective agents and buyers, not to mention a sometimes sizeable cash award if they win.
