In 2018, Jair Bolsonaro was elected president of Brazil. It was the return of far-right ideology to a country that from 1964 to 1985 experienced a violent military dictatorship marked by censorship against the arts and the persecution and exile of artists. This could be noticed again in Bolsonaro’s government. Quem tem Medo? reveals the censorship artists face nowadays. The film is built on interviews with censored artists (Maikon K, Wagner Schwartz, Renata Carvalho, among others), excerpts of their works and archive material of politicians in the Brazilian parliament.
Artist Wagner Schwartz will be present in the screening.
