UECLAA presents a programme of video made by Brazilian artists. Video is flourishing in Brazil and offers unique insights into aspects of the country's uneven development and the diversity of its hybrid culture. Through the eyes of video artists we can access the heterogeneous, and sometimes divergent, art production of the largest Latin American country.

The Lakeside Theatre's film programme has been brought together to extend the dialogue between arts activities on campus.
