Abstract

This article aims to analyze the Brazilian film “Recife Frio”, by Kleber Mendonça Filho, from the perspective of climate change and its socio-environmental implications. Structured as a fake documentary, the short film inverts the temperature of Recife, provoking radical transformations in the sociability of the local population. Through a narrative that blends satire and reflection, the film addresses issues pertinent to the Anthropocene, such as the ecological crisis and environmental apartheid, highlighting the inequalities accentuated by climate change.
