It probably wouldn't even be Kino Brasil if we didn't give a film by our favorite director, Kléber Mendonça Filh. And this year we will give four! Thanks to the cooperation with the Ostrava Kamera Oko festival, we will offer you a range of short films hidden under the collective name Museum. The attentive and faithful spectator will certainly recognize the director's subtly critical eye in them.

Green Vinyl

In Green Vinyl, the mother donates a box of old vinyl records to her daughter, instructing that she can listen to all but the green one. Otherwise, it will cause tragic consequences. The horror story is an adaptation of a Russian folk tale and is told in the form of a montage of photographic shots and a dramatic voiceover.
