Orlando Senna, the Bahian filmmaker who spent six decades helping Brazilian cinema discover and articulate itself, died at eighty-six. Best known internationally for co-directing Iracema, he was less a singular monument than a sustained presence — someone whose choices, innovations, and commitment to the medium shaped how a generation of filmmakers saw their own country. His passing marks the moment a living witness to Brazilian cinema's formative years becomes, instead, a chapter in its history.
