A documentary about Interdisciplinary art star Romero Britto has released a trailer ahead of its premiere at this year’s Art Basel in Miami.
“The Britto Doc” is narrated by Britto himself and includes special appearances from opera star Andrea Bocelli, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, fashion designer Domenico Dolce, Brazilian soccer player Ronaldinho and Martha Stewart to name a few.
The film dives into Britto’s life and career. “From painting on scraps with his mother’s nail polish in the slums of Recife, Brazil, to seeing his vibrant creations in Miami celebrated and collected globally, Britto’s journey is a testament to resilience, determination, and the transformative power of art. This poignant narrative is infused with Britto’s warmth, optimism, and love,” filmmakers said in a statement.
Patrick Moreau directs while Lucas L. C. Vidal, Arthur Morrical, Caitlin Miranda, and Ben Everard serve as executive producers. Additional figures to appear in the film include Grammy Award-winning artist Marc Anthony, DJ Khaled, Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Chef Daniel Boulud.
The film is done by Muse Storytelling in partnership with Britto. “For me, it is an honor to have the opportunity to share my story, and my passion for art with the world,” said Britto. “I hope this movie can inspire others to work hard, stay true to their own voice, be optimistic and spread happiness.”
Britto’s work has been exhibited in over 120 countries, including the Carrousel Du Louvre. He was the first living visual artist to present his work at the Soumaya Museum. He collaborated with Cirque Du Soleil to open the Super Bowl XLI and was the official artist of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
