Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

São Paulo, 1983: women’s soccer has just been legalized in Brazil. A rowdy group of young women form the Gayvotas Football Club, quickly rising to fame while confronting the prejudices of a conservative military dictatorship. Banned after its premiere, ONDA NOVA emerges as a defiantly queer and gleefully anarchic sex comedy that still packs a subversive punch (or kick?) all these years later.
