Heritage of football in film

Icon of the audiovisual sports chronicle, the collection of the Channel 100 has space of honour in the festival. Revisiting goals, dribbles and fans of classics such as Flamengo x Fluminense, Botafogo x Vasco and historical matches of the team, the sessions gather pearls of the Brazilian Cinemateca and invite the public to the reunion with the glorious past of football. Cinefoot also reaffirms its commitment to access and diversity. Sessions with communication accessibility are scheduled throughout the week, as well as works that address topics such as racial memory, female pioneering, social exclusion and affections related to football.
