Cine Recreio

Description

The documentary "Cine Recreio," directed by Carolina Cornélio and Laura Leonel, is a work produced by students from the IFSertãoPE Floresta campus, under the guidance of professor Robson Arruda, that reveals how Cine Recreio-between closures and reopenings-withstands time and continues to illuminate the city's history. The production delves into the memories of residents who experienced the different stages of the cine, from its peak to its decline, and who now celebrate its reopening, reviving the importance of this space as a gathering and leisure spot in the city. Developed in 2025, the documentary is an educational project by 3rd-year students of the Integrated Technical High School in Informatics, which sought, through audiovisual storytelling, to preserve the collective memory of Floresta's residents and value local culture. The work invites reflection on the role of street cinemas in building collective identities and expresses support for the new reopening of Cine Recreio.
