São Paulo's Mostra reaches its 50th edition

The 50th São Paulo International Film Festival runs from 15 to 29 October 2026, opening on 14 October with James Gray's Paper Tiger at Sala São Paulo. This year the festival sets up a temporary screening room, the 6th Encontro de Ideias Audiovisuais (20–23 October) and an exhibition on its five decades at the Solar Fábio Prado. The line-up already includes Cannes winners and a restored selection of Armenian filmmaker Artavazd Pelechian, whose films replace dialogue with music.
