São Paulo in Hi-Fi

Synopsis: “The documentary presents stories from the golden age of gay nightclubs in São Paulo in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Characters from the LGBT community who have marked the era, their nightclubs, habits, fashion, behaviors and attitudes, provide their testimonies about their stories as dancers and performers in São Paulo’s nightlife. Through moments of joys and hardships, the film traces the reality of a time under the pressure of the military regime, the explosion of AIDS and the growth of fear, prejudice and uncertainty.”

The documentary is available for free on YouTube, in Portuguese with auto-generated closed captions and auto-translate.
