Two books drawn directly from lived experience end up on the world’s biggest cinematic stage. Ariana Harwicz and Marcelo Rubens Paiva come together to talk about what happens when intensely personal writing is taken up by cinema — and then by the Oscars.  

Harwicz’s fiction, written from extreme psychological states and described by The Guardian as having a David Lynch–like intensity, was adapted into a film driven by unease rather than realism, starring Academy Award–winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. Paiva’s Ainda Estou Aqui, written out of his family’s confrontation with dictatorship, disappearance, and survival, followed a different path: from testimony to international recognition, carried by performances from Fernanda Torres, nominated last year for Best Actress, while the film went on to win the Best International Feature.
