The Age of the Earth (Portuguese: A Idade da Terra) is a 1980 Brazilian avant-garde film directed by Glauber Rocha.

Rocha started the film in 1975 and planned to shoot it in Los Angeles, and subsequently proposed it in Paris, Rome, Mexico and Venezuela, but was unable to obtain financial support.

Rocha himself had been living in exile during the 70's, after numerous attempts of the censorship were made to Entranced Earth (1967) and Antonio das Mortes (1969).

[5] Regardless, it was boycotted by international critics and "crucified" at the 1980 Venice Film Festival,[6][7] especially after an argument between Rocha and Louis Malle at the presence of numerous journalists, shortly after the Golden Lion results were announced.
