CITY OF THE FUTURE (Cidade do futuro)
General Admission: First come, First served seating
Cláudio Marques & Marília Hughes, 2016, Brazil, 75 min
High school teacher Gilmar makes a point of showing his students the history of Serra do Ramalho in Northeastern Brazil and how families were forcefully relocated there with a promise of the area being the city of the future. Gilmar is a child of this exodus and he along with girlfriend Milla and boyfriend Igor are trying to create the family of the future. Bisexual Milla is pregnant with Gilmar’s child and insists that the baby belongs to all three of them. Igor harbors some resentment and jealousy, as he isn’t the biological father, and pulls away from Milla and Gilmar. Societal pressure further complicates the relationship making the three question their definition of family, home, and fatherhood in this remarkably lovely and quiet film about a place and a people. In Portuguese with English subtitles. (David Gonzalez)
