Salomé

The return of a successful model (played by Aura do Nascimento) to her mother’s (Renata Carvalho) home in Recife sets the stage for a queer sci-fi that blends alien mysteries with an intoxicating love story. Reimagining the biblical figure of Salome – who has inspired artists like Oscar Wilde and films such as Charles Bryant and Alla Nazimova’s – the new feature film by the Surto & Deslumbramento collective, winner of the 2024 Brasília Film Festival, brings desire, humor, and a vibrant reinvention of genre cinema to this year’s festival.
