Big Talk + Film: Kleber Mendonça Filho & Carla Simón + The Secret Agent
Fancy a double-bill? It is this year also possible to purchase a joint ticket for our Big Talks and a connected film from the programme, at a reduced rate.

About the Big Talk: Kleber Mendonça Filho & Carla Simón
Kleber Mendonça Filho (The Secret Agent, IFFR 2026) and Carla Simón (Romería, IFFR 2026) discuss how cinema can shape personal and historical memory, while blending realism with genre on one side and formal experimentation with deeply personal storytelling on the other.
About The Secret Agent
Kleber Mendonça Filho proves once more that he is one of the most exciting filmmakers working today with The Secret Agent. Set in 1977, this playful political thriller intertwines several narrative lines to build a moving reflection on the personal and collective memories of Brazil’s bloody history.
