Belas Artes Frei Caneca, a cinema in Brazil, has organized a special programming to cater to Oscar enthusiasts. Over two Thursdays, the cinema will screen two films that are strong contenders for the Academy Awards: 'The Secret Agent' and the Spanish film 'Sirât'. These showings are part of a series called 'Depois dos Créditos', where each film is followed by a discussion led by industry experts and critics.

'Sirât', directed by Franco-Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe, is generating buzz after receiving two Oscar nominations for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound. In addition to its Oscar nods, the film also won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, highlighting its critical acclaim. The inclusion of 'The Secret Agent' in this lineup further emphasizes the cinema's commitment to showcasing films that are not only popular but also hold significant artistic merit in the current film landscape.

Following the screenings, discussions will take place with prominent media figures such as journalist Marcelo Hessel and content creator Dudi Guimarães, offering audiences insights into the films and their broader implications in the awards season. This initiative not only enhances the viewing experience by providing deeper understandings of the films but also fosters a community dialogue around contemporary cinema and its narrative importance.
