Watching: Rita Moreira: Crônicas, Memórias e Videotape

Overview

Drawing on the idea that memory is an editing room, veteran lesbian filmmaker Rita Moreira revisits her trajectory through her films. Moving between images of 1970s New York—where she self-exiled during Brazil’s military dictatorship—and more recent works from the late 2010s, the film weaves together time and experience to reflect on the political, social, and emotional transformations that shape both Brazil’s history and the director’s life.
