Theo, the short film co-directed by Jo Galvv and Monica Palazzo, will be screened on November 12 as part of Cine na Praça's special programme in partnership with Festival Mix Brasil, bringing LGBTQIA+ stories and diverse perspectives to outdoor cinema audiences in São Paulo.
The screening is part of a three-day programme running from November 12 to 14, with free outdoor film sessions starting at 7 PM. On November 12, Theo will be presented alongside the feature film Quando Tudo Joga Contra (2026), directed by Otávio Chamorro, and the short film Ici (Remix), directed by Sijin Liu.
Set in Brazil in 1986, during the FIFA World Cup, THEO follows a child navigating gender expectations and the boundaries of belonging in a world where football is closely associated with masculinity. Through the perspective of childhood, the film explores identity, self-expression and the courage to challenge social conventions.
The screening will take place at Centro Cultural São Paulo, Jardim Suspenso. Admission is free.
