In this personal documentary, the Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho returns to his hometown of Recife. Time has changed, people have passed away, and many of the local cinemas have closed down. By delving into the cinematic ruins of the city, memories of a bygone era are awakened, and the director reconstructs his own subjective map of the city.

Kleber Mendonça Filho is perhaps best known for the cult film Bacurau (2019), but in Pictures of Ghosts, he explores a completely different cinematic form and theme.

This film is an essayistic love letter to both Recife and the magic of the cinema, which become inseparably linked. It is a "must-see" for all cinephiles.
