Overview
- Abraccine, Brazil’s association of film critics, released a revised 100-title list selected by a vote of 180 members from 1,169 films.
- The new list appears in order of release rather than the ranked format used in the first edition about a decade ago.
- Recent entries include Walter Salles’s Ainda estou aqui (2024) and Kleber Mendonça Filho’s O agente secreto (2025).
- The selections will be expanded into a year‑end book from Editora Letramento organized by Ivonete Pinto, Danilo Fantinel and Paulo Henrique Silva, with essays that add historical, aesthetic and thematic context.
- Abraccine frames the refresh as part of its 15th‑anniversary projects and as a necessary revision that better mirrors today’s Brazilian cinema and the association’s broader membership.
