Pictures of Ghosts
Coming soon to a cinema near you
Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho
Produced by Vitrine Filmes, CinemaScópio
A meditative documentary excavating lost cinema palaces and the vanished social world they once anchored in Recife, blending personal reverence for cinema with archaeological inquiry into cultural memory.
Downtown Recife’s classic movie palaces from the 20th century are mostly gone. That city area is now an archaeological site of sorts that reveals aspects of life in society which have been lost. And that’s just part of the story.
