Description

In 2019, Brazil's Kleber Mendonça Filho won the Grand Prix at Cannes with his co-directed movie BACARAU.  This year he returned to the fest to premiere a documentary about movies.  Or more specifically, about the places we watch them.In the second installment of our mini-season of conversations taped on location at Cannes '23, Filho tells host Rico Gagliano about PICTURES OF GHOSTS.  It's his look back at the movie palaces in his home town of Recife, and how he's come to terms with how they — and lots of beloved city spaces — inevitably vanished.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.  For the fourth season of the MUBI Podcast, we sent host Rico Gagliano into the eye of this celluloid storm, accompanied by an intrepid camera crew, to grab interviews with a cross-section of filmmakers who made Cannes 2023 one of the most celebrated in years. Guests include legendary director Wim Wenders, perennial Cannes favorites Kleber Mendonca Filho and Monia Chokri, and a slew of new filmmakers destined to be world cinema's next wave — from Belgian hip-hopper-turned-auteur Baloji to New York's wry boundary-smasher Joanna Arnow. Episodes air twice weekly.  Follow and watch on Spotify or Youtube... or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
