Abstract Since 1995 Brazil's always volatile film industry has been going through a rebirth that has created a surge in popularity, both nationally and internationally, and an increase in the production of films that adhere to the technical norms of globalised film production. This current era in filmmaking is known as the Retomada and the release in 2002 of the Brazilian film City of God (Cidade de Deus) ( dirs. Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund) proved a definitive moment in this new phase in the nation's film history.
