PORT 2050 is designed specifically for UVA undergraduate and graduate students who already possess an advanced level of fluency in one of the Romance languages. The pedagogical approach to PORT 2050 is both proficiency-oriented and task-based and the class will be conducted completely in Portuguese.

This seminar examines contemporary Brazilian cinema from 2002 to the present, with an emphasis on the diversity of styles, regions, and themes that animate Brazil’s film culture in the 21st century. We will explore how filmmakers represent such themes as violence, inequality, family, memory, identity, and belonging. Each film will be paired with readings that provide historical, cultural, and theoretical context. Students will engage in close analysis of both fiction and documentary works, situating them within Brazil’s broader sociopolitical landscape and global cinematic currents
