The Domitor 2026 conference will be held June 10-13 in Niterói, Brazil, hosted by the University Laboratory for Audiovisual Preservation (LUPA) at the Fluminense Federal University. Panels and screenings will take place at the Centro de Artes UFF, in Icaraí, the most populous neighborhood in Niterói.
Niterói is separated from Rio de Janeiro by Guanabara Bay, which can be crossed by a 13 km bridge or by a ferry that connects downtown Rio to downtown Niterói.
Tom Jobim International Airport (Galeão), in Rio de Janeiro, is 23 kilometers from Niterói, and it’s possible to get there by taxi or uber. Prices range from ~$12–30 USD. Another option is to take a regular bus line 760D (Auto Viação 1001, Galeão-Charitas) from the airport. This line crosses Rio-Niterói and passes through the Icaraí neighborhood. The ticket costs ~$3 USD. Some hotels also offer airport transfer.
Panels and screenings will be held at Cine Arte UFF, a movie theater that is part of the Centro de Artes UFF, a cultural center located at the Fluminense Federal University’s administration building, originally built in 1939 as an art deco style casino hotel. The Centro de Artes UFF address is: Rua Miguel de Frias, 9, Icaraí, Niterói – RJ – 24220-900.
Icaraí is a pleasant beachside neighborhood, with many accommodation options and restaurants, and near other tourist attractions. For additional information, please consult the official website of tourism in Niterói.
