Pavilhão

2025 · 13 min · Documentary

Celebrating the roots of samba and its significance beyond the Carnaval tradition in Brazil, Rio-based director Victoria Fiore explores the art as a profound act of cultural preservation for short film Pavilhão. Immersed in the community as part of Rio de Janeiro’s Paraíso do Tuiuti, and a passista – or samba dancer – at Rio Carnival, Fiore connects with Brazil’s samba schools as living archives where history, tradition, and innovation merge, sustaining a vibrant expression of Afro-Brazilian identity and resistance.
