A filmmaker feted for his documentary efforts worldwide, Kiko Goifman is among the helmers who bring a world premiering feature to Rio — this time, for his freshman fiction debut. “Periscopio” (“Periscope”) is a surrealist drama that takes on a cross-generational relationship between an elderly man and his caregiver. Goifman last screened a project at Rio in 2011, when his “Look At Me Again” earned a special jury prize and went on to screen at the Berlin fest in 2012. In between catching other filmmakers’ efforts — he’s most excited for “Tatuagem” and “The Man of the Crowd” — and enjoying the company of “cariocas friends,” Goifman spoke with Variety about the blurred line between fact and fiction and the challenges of financing an art house film in the Brazilian market.
