The Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles has already presented two films in the Perlak section: Estación Central de Brasil (1998) and The Motorcycle Diaries (2005). This year he is back with what is probably his most personal film: Ainda estou aquí, which evokes the worst years of the Brazilian military dictatorship and focuses on the disappearance of former MP, Rubens Paiva.
He acknowledged that this was the first time that he made a film based on his own memories, in this case, the grey Brazil of the 1970s, when the country was governed by a military dictatorship. “As a teenager I became friends with Rubens Paiva’s children and I remember the impact their home made on me ... It was an oasis of freedom. To tell the story of how that family broke up, with Ruben’s kidnapping, was to tell the story of how the promise of a country was broken”. He also said that it is appalling to hear some people today reminisce about the dictatorship as if it were a glorious period and that shooting this film was an attempt to rebel against that idea.
