Alberto Da Silva

Alberto Da Silva is a specialist in Brazilian cinema and a lecturer at the Sorbonne. He has gained recognition for his insightful analysis of film as it relates to historical and political contexts, particularly focusing on the depiction of Brazil's military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. In a recent article for Le Monde, Da Silva discusses the significant international success of films like 'Je suis toujours là' by Walter Salles and 'L’Agent secret' by Kleber Mendonça Filho, emphasizing how these films resonate with contemporary issues in Brazil, especially in the wake of the Bolsonaro presidency.
