The 46th edition of the traditional São Paulo International Film Festival will take place from October 20 through November 2. The programming is mostly presential and includes 223 films from 60 different countries, divided into three segments: International Perspective, New Directors Competition, and Mostra Brasil.

Singer and actress Doris Monteiro, the protagonist of Agulha no Palheiro (1953), by Alex Vianny, is among the honored artists, as well as director Ana Carolina who will receive the Humanity Award during the presentation of her films Mar de Rosas, Das Tripas Coração, Sonho de Valsa, and Paixões Recorrentes.

There will also be space for 13 Oscar nominees as Best International Film.
