A multidimensional journey through time, sound, architecture, and filmmaking, Pictures of Ghosts is set in the urban landscape of the coastal city of Recife, Brazil. The historical and human territory is examined through the great movie theaters that served as spaces of conviviality during the 20th century. Having hosted dreams and progress, these places have also embodied a major transformation in social practices. Combining archive documentary, mystery, film clips, and personal memories, Pictures of Ghosts is a map of a city through the lens of cinema. (Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2023, Portuguese with English language subtitles, 93 minutes)
