A man in Brazil turned his childhood dream into a small cinema for film lovers

SAO PAULO — For Carlos Costa, the magic of cinema began at the age of six when his grandmother took him to see the 1977 Brazilian comedy “O Trapalhão nas Minas do Rei Salomão.” That experience ignited a lifelong passion and a dream: to one day own a movie theater. Five decades later, Costa turned that dream into reality with the opening of Cine LT3, a 35-seat independent cinema in Sao Paulo.
