Catch a movie at Cine Tutu, the new São Paulo cinema by Isay Weinfeld
Architect Isay Weinfeld, who co-directed a feature film in 1988, has designed Cine Tutu, a 114-seat independent cinema and the first street cinema in São Paulo's Vila Madalena. Visitors pass through a café-bar and a lounge-style waiting area with olive-green banquettes, then reach a screening room with floral-print seating, an 8.9m screen, 4K projection and Dolby 7.1 sound. The venue, founded by Paulo Velasco, is one of the locations for the 50th São Paulo International Film Festival.
