Poster for How to Talk to Mom

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Sometimes it is necessary to go to the other side of the world to open the topic of intimacy. Sometimes it is necessary not to shoot a single frame to make a film. Sometimes there is an attempt to create closeness by increasing the distance and sometimes the impossibility to do so tries to camouflage itself with an adventure story. Sometimes I think I speak Chinese. In this travel essay written at the height of the epidemic and just after the earthquake, I asked myself a question and intended to find an answer. Now I realize that I don’t know the answer or that it may not exist at all. Now I understand, maybe we are more similar than I think.

Inspired by the context set by the Covid-19 pandemic, and by the fact that we spent Portuguese Freedom day under a certain confinement, we wanted to find out perspectives on freedom that defy the dominant narratives. So, we challenged filmmakers to create shorts that reflected what freedom means to them today. From Freedom To Freedom is the film that collects the 10 perspectives. At a time when stories move us forward, these are reflections of the essential. Shorts Featured: Your Spaceship by Vasco Mendes, Tema Libre by Felipe Rios Fuentes, I Can't Help by Daniel Brereton, Nothing but the Mountains of the Past by João Diogo Marques, Un Pays Lointain by Vincent Moon and Priscilla Telmon, Some Kind of Connection by Sophy Romvari and Mike Thorn, a day in Bangkok by Nisha Jurairattanaporn, Desabitar by Diana Antunes, 2020 Chimaera by Miguel C.

Poster for Only Men

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Only Men documents the everyday life of several middle-aged men; multiple narratives composed of “infinitesimally small” stories move between realism and paradox, outlining a man’s world in a very different, anti-heroic way, removed from the stereotypical depiction of masculinity. It is of no importance who these men are. They could be a poet, the owner of a taverna in Metaxourgeio, a retired tailor, or a builder meeting an immigrant in a coffee shop.

Poster for Robert Klippel – Junk Sculpture No. 3

1963 · ★ 0.0 (0)

“In Robert Klippel – Junk Sculpture No. 3, 1963 (1965), a spiky Klippel creation resonates almost visibly with the high, piercing tones of Larry Sitsky’s music. (Here the “voice” belongs to a harpsichord; another film in the same series creates a similar effect by electronically altering recordings of human song.)” —Jake Wilson, Senses of Cinema

Flying in the face of this culture's extreme ageism, STILL DOING IT explores the lives of older women. Partnered, single, straight, gay, black and white; nine extraordinary women, age 67-87, express with startling honesty and humor how they feel about themselves, sex and love in later life and the poignant realities of aging. Outspoken for their generation, these women mark a sea change. Women over 65 have been the fastest growing part of the population for decades, but with boomers turning 65, the number of older women is skyrocketing. Still Doing It looks at this society's complex relationship to women and aging with surprising and revelatory results.

Poster for Wild Berries

2018 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Wild Berries is the sensorial journey of a solitary boy immersed into his own world, wandering through fields and forests, going further towards the unknown at every step. Left alone in the desolate rural landscape of Romania, he plays hide and seek among gigantic sunflowers, roams the endless fields, watches the animals around him, finds and loses things. Observing and waiting, he looks for excitement and sometimes remains disappointed. He looks back at us and we follow him, driven by a nostalgic desire towards something in ourselves that perhaps never existed.

Poster for Oasis

2015 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Figures emerge from and retreat back into the waters of the oasis, coming forward to greet the eye of the Super-8 camera. The scene initially appears idyllic. But the alien scrutiny of the artificial eye is sinister, at cold cross-purposes to the human warmth it brushes against.
