Brazilian gothic film “Furnas Fundas” premieres in Porto Alegre

Furnas Fundas Beto Marquez Brazilian cinema Porto Alegre gothic horror

The Brazilian gothic film “Furnas Fundas: Uma Fábula Gótica Brasileira,” directed by Beto Marquez, held its special premiere at the Cinemateca Paulo Amorim in Porto Alegre. The event included a screening at the Casa de Cultura Mario Quintana, followed by a debate with the director and cast members, including Elisa Volpatto and Johnnas Oliva.

The film, produced by Midnight Japa and distributed by Capuri Filmes, blends horror, fantasy, humor, and social critique. Set in a small town during a fierce electoral dispute, the plot follows how political polarization divides families and neighbors while an ancient, dark force threatens the community. The story focuses on a group of social outcasts who must prevent the town from descending into violence.

Director Beto Marquez cited Erico Verissimo’s “Incidente em Antares,” the satire of cartoonist Angeli, and the narratives of Reinaldo Moraes as primary inspirations. Marquez stated that the film aims to explore human behavior and the tendency to choose sides rather than addressing fundamental problems, a theme inspired by observations made during the pandemic. The film stars Eriberto Leão, Natália Lage, and Otávio Muller.
