Special preview: 4K Restoration of Brazilian Classic Drama CENTRAL STATION

Set against arid and hypnotic landscapes, CENTRAL STATION (1998) by award-winning director Walter Salles (from I'M STILL HERE) is being re-released in 4K!

This poignant road movie travels through the heart of Brazil to explore the fragile ties of family, community, and solidarity.

Anchored by the unforgettable performances of Fernanda Montenegro and Vinícius de Oliveira, the film follows the emotive journey of Dora, a former schoolteacher who writes letters for illiterate people at Rio de Janeiro’s crowded central station.

Her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Josué, an energetic nine-year-old boy whose mother has just died.

Together, they set out in search of the father he never knew — a journey of resilience, connection, and unexpected tenderness.

The screening will be introduced by Dr Tiago de Luca, Reader in Film Studies at the University of Warwick.
