I'm Still Here (Portuguese: Ainda Estou Aqui ) is a 2024 political biographical drama film directed by Walter Salles from a screenplay by Murilo Hauser and Heitor Lorega, based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's 2015 memoir of the same name. It stars Fernanda Torres and Fernanda Montenegro as Eunice Paiva, a mother and activist coping with the forced disappearance of her husband, the dissident politician Rubens Paiva, during the military dictatorship in Brazil.[4] Soon after its release in Brazilian theaters on 7 November 2024 by Sony Pictures Releasing International, the film was the target of an unsuccessful boycott by the Brazilian far-right.[5][6][7] Grossing $19.1 million on a $1.5 million production budget, it became the highest-grossing Brazilian film since the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][8][9]
The film had its world premiere on 1 September 2024 at the 81st Venice International Film Festival[10] where it received critical acclaim with unanimous praise towards Torres' performance,[11] winning the Best Screenplay award.[12] It was named one of the Top 5 International Films of 2024 by the National Board of Review.[13] At the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, Torres won the Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama category while the film was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, a category in which it was also nominated at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards and the BAFTA. At the 97th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best International Feature Film, Best Actress (Torres) and Best Picture, becoming the first Brazilian-produced film to ever be nominated in that category.[14][15]
