I'm Still Here - Expat Cinema Rotterdam
Winner of the Audience Award at IFFR 2025 and the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
Based on the memoirs of Marcelo Rubens Paiva, I’m Still Here tells the true story of the disappearance of his father, former congressman Rubens Paiva, during Brazil’s military dictatorship in the 1970s.
The lives of Rubens Paiva’s wife, Eunice (Fernanda Torres), and their five children change abruptly—and forever—after his disappearance. Eunice is imprisoned and pressured by the regime to betray her friends and family. When released 12 days later, she dedicates herself to resisting the corrupt government and fighting for the rights of thousands of innocent citizens who vanished under the dictatorship.
Director Walter Salles (Central do Brasil, The Motorcycle Diaries, On the Road) returns to fiction filmmaking after a long hiatus, making his first film in 16 years in his home country, Brazil—where it became a box office sensation. Premiering at the Venice Film Festival, the film earned Fernanda Torres a Golden Globe for Best Actress and ultimately won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
