Description
A viewing of 'Pacificado' at UWA Somerville for Perth Festival
In the run-up to the 2018 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.
