Brazilian Film Festival Special
Night Stage. A bold Brazilian thriller, screening in Sydney.
Brazilian Film Festival is presenting special partnership screenings as part of the Mardi Gras Film Festival program.
Night Stage is a seductive thriller about control, reputation and secrecy. It follows Matias, a theatre actor chasing a breakout role, and Rafael, a man stepping into politics. As pressure builds to look “acceptable” in public, their relationship moves further into the shadows, and the stakes climb fast.
Screening: Saturday 14 February · 8:45pm
Where: Event Cinemas George St · Sydney NSW
