In partnership with the Brazilian Student Association (BRASA) and the Center for Latin American Studies, the University Film Society is screening Ainda Estou Aqui (I'm Still Here) on Saturday, September 27 at 7:00 pm in the Reitz Auditorium.
Ainda Estou Aqui tells the story of Eunice Paiva, a woman searching for answers about her husband's 1971 arrest and disappearance, during Brazil's military dictatorship.
The film achieved unprecedented success in the U.S., winning Best International Feature Film at the 2025 Academy Awards, and Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Fernanda Torres at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards (the first time a Brazilian actress won in any acting category at the Golden Globes). Additional nominations at the Academy Awards were for Best Picture (the first time a Brazilian film was nominated in the category), and Fernanda Torres for Best Actress.
