Elizabeth Bishop: from Brazil with love explores the transformative period when
American poet Elizabeth Bishop lived in Brazil (1950s-70s). Highlighting her deep
relationship with Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares, the film weaves together
letters, poems and archival footage  to reveal Brazil’s profound influence on Bishop’s personal and artistic journey.
