Director Walter Salles on ‘I’m Still Here’ – his first film in 12 years

He’s one of Brazil’s greatest directors – known for ‘Central Station’ and ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’. But Walter Salles has not made a film in 12 years – partly because he’s spent so much time on his latest movie – ‘I’m Still Here’.

Today, BAFTA revealed the film is on its longlist, adding to the two Golden Globe nominations it’s already received. Based on a memoir by Salles’s friend, it tells the story of a family torn apart during two decades of Brazil’s military dictatorship.
