Posters Removed by Ancine Displayed in São Paulo Cultural Center Exhibition
The Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP) is hosting an exhibition of Brazilian film posters removed from the walls of the National Cinema Agency (Ancine) in Rio de Janeiro in December. This display is part of the Verão Sem Censura festival, organized by the São Paulo Municipal Department of Culture, aiming to reaffirm the visibility of LGBTQIA+ productions and support freedom of expression. The posters, which had been displayed since 2002, featured national films addressing urgent and provocative themes. The festival's broader program includes activities across other city venues, such as the 'Banidos' exhibition at the Biblioteca Mário de Andrade, showcasing rare censored books from literary history. The exhibition runs from January 17 to 31 at CCSP, located at Rua Vergueiro, 1000 in São Paulo.
