Nonfiction Film Festival: Brazilian Gem "While We Are Here" + Q&A

Join the Film Society of Lincoln Center for our annual nonfiction showcase Art of the Real, featuring the North American premiere screening of WHILE WE ARE HERE "A delicately crafted Brazilian gem . . . Casts a gentle, endearing spell that lingers after the credits roll." – The Hollywood Reporter Q&A with Clarissa Campolina & Luiz Pretti Charting a relationship from its origins through its aftermath, While We Are Here follows the lives of Lamis, a Lebanese woman, and a Brazilian man named Wilson, who one day meet while living in New York. In alternating voiceover, the pair reflect on their impressions of the city, their courtship, and their eventual separation, as vivid images of urban and rural life trace Lamis and Wilson’s individual paths from New York to Berlin and Brazil, respectively. Equal parts diary film, travelogue, and epistolary drama, this discreetly expanding fiction from partners Clarissa Campolina and Luiz Pretti captures the beauty and fragility of love and its memory. This film is screening as part of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s annual nonfiction showcase, Art of the Real. Hailed by IndieWire as "one of the world’s most essential showcases for game-changing, rule-breaking, genre-busting new cinema," the celebrated cinematic event returns April 18–28 to present a vibrant slate of new works by internationally acclaimed filmmakers and award-winning debuts from around the world. Presented with support from MUBI. View the complete lineup here.
