30 years of Cinusp
Cinusp’s director, Eduardo Victorio Morettin, is already anticipating the 30th-anniversary celebrations, which will be held in October with “a special exhibition and sessions in tribute to the people who have built Cinusp Paulo Emílio over these three decades.”
“There will be partnerships throughout the year, such as a cycle in the second semester with the Cinemateca Brasileira and the Associação Paulista de Cineastas (Apaci),” he said.
