NEW 4K RESTORATION | Never Before Released in the US! | São Paulo, 1983: Women’s soccer has just been legalized in Brazil. A group of rebellious young women form the Gayvotas Football Club and begin training for their first match. But as the team quickly becomes a media sensation, its members are forced to confront the prejudices of the conservative military dictatorship that they live under.

Banned shortly after its premiere at the 1983 São Paulo International Film Festival and never released outside of Brazil until now, Ícaro Martins and José Antonio Garcia’s Onda Nova: Gayvotas Football Club is a defiantly queer and gleefully anarchic sex comedy that still packs a subversive punch (or kick?) all these years later.

“More than 40 years on from its release, the transgressiveness of Onda Nova hasn’t dulled in the slightest. Garcia and Martins’ film remains lively and colourful, full of sensuality and unbridled desire.” —Elvis Mitchell, The New York Times
