Pacificado – Perth Festival

"A quietly powerful drama." - The Arts Desk

In the run-up to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games young Tati anticipates meeting her father Jaca for the first time. It is a time of tentative peace in the city, with the government trying to calm the favela neighbourhoods by shooing crime out of sight. When Jaca emerges from jail the equilibrium shifts—neighbours and family want his attention and influence, but he just wants to live quietly and cook. A multiple prize-winner, including Best Film at the San Sebastián Film Festival, Pacificado brings nuance and sympathy to a notorious media talking point.
