In the framework of our exhibition With an Acre, join us for three evenings in Parc Baile with music and screenings of Brazilian documentary films selected by Ana Alice De Morais, artistic co-director of the Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM). These evenings are an opportunity to learn about issues related to the intensive exploitation of natural resources and agricultural land in Brazil and the struggles of rural and Indigenous communities to preserve their land rights, culture, traditions, and independence.

Each evening begins with a concert in the park at 7:30 p.m., accompanied by Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese balls), followed by a screening on our façade at 8:30 pm.
