Hey film fans! 🎬 The Oscar-winning Brazilian drama "I'm Still Here" has made its dazzling Chinese premiere in Beijing, captivating audiences with its raw, inspiring tale of resilience and hope. Based on the true story of Eunice Paiva—whose journey unfolds amid the turbulent 1970s in Brazil after her husband Rubens was forcibly disappeared—the film offers a powerful look into the strength of the human spirit.
The premiere was graced by Rosangela Lula da Silva, wife of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is currently on a state visit in Beijing. Film figures from both Brazil and China gathered to celebrate this cinematic milestone. Rosangela shared that the movie traveled over 17,000 km and reached more than 10,000 cinemas across the vast Chinese mainland, showcasing its global impact.
Adding to the excitement, Chinese actress Yao Chen recalled her experience with "The Cord of Life," a film screened at a São Paulo festival in 2023. She even presented Rosangela with a special vinyl copy of the film's soundtrack, expressing her hope for more artistic exchanges between Chinese and Brazilian filmmakers. This event truly celebrates the universal language of film—bridging cultures and sparking conversations across borders. 😊
