Festival do Rio is one of Latin America’s leading film festivals, bringing together major productions, international premieres, filmmakers and industry professionals every year. Each edition introduces a new visual language that captures the spirit of the festival while strengthening the dialogue between cinema, the city and its audiences.

We were invited to develop the concept and visual language for one of the festival’s editions, preserving its iconic logo while creating a graphic narrative built around three complementary dimensions: Local, Global and Universal. The system is based on flowing lines that evoke Rio de Janeiro’s geography, expand into maps and trajectories, and ultimately evolve into forms that express cinema’s universal ability to transcend borders and connect cultures.

The concept unfolded across the edition’s communication, environmental graphics, catalogue, signage, digital content and a wide range of festival materials, ensuring unity and consistency throughout the festival’s identity. The result is a dynamic visual language designed to match the scale and diversity of one of the world’s leading film festivals.
