TRIBUTE TO REGINALDO FARIA

Crystal Lens – Lifetime Achievement Award

Reginaldo Faria is an iconic figure in Brazilian audiovisual arts. Actor, director, screenwriter, and producer, his contributions have left an indelible mark on Brazilian cinema and television, promoting Brazilian culture both in Brazil and internationally. With talent, sensitivity, and dedication, he has established himself as a leading figure in the history of our audiovisual landscape.

Over a legendary career spanning decades, Reginaldo Faria has stood out not only for his powerful performances but also for his creative vision and the way he has addressed important societal issues in Brazil.

As an actor, he has starred in essential works of Brazilian cinema, such as Cidade Ameaçada, Assalto ao Trem Pagador, Lúcio Flávio, o Passageiro da Agonia, Pra Frente, Brasil, Memórias Póstumas, and his most recent film Perto do Sol é Mais Claro. Each of these films not only captured the essence of its time but also highlighted social, political, and cultural issues that continue to resonate with audiences today.

The screening of these titles on the inff.online platform is a tribute to his journey and a precious opportunity for new generations to discover and appreciate the works that helped shape Brazilian cinema.

At the 29th Inffinito Brazilian Film Festival, we honor the career of Reginaldo Faria—not only recognizing a multi-talented artist, but also a fundamental pillar of Brazilian cinematic identity. His legacy lives on in the films we watch and the stories we tell, firmly holding a central place in the heart of Brazilian cinema.
