Fortune cookie
Co-Producer
Tellerium's founders find themselves in the place where it all began: a secluded oriental restaurant. But as they repeat the tradition and open their fortune cookies, they realize that there is more to what they bargained for.
Saudade do Futuro
Executive Producer
Portugal, Brazil and Cape Verde. Countries linked by the sea and the culture of nostalgia. The film travels across three continents and finds characters marked by absences produced by events that transform the history of these countries. Like fascism, colonization, slavery, dictatorships and leaving never to return. The culture of saudade is the thread that connects conversations by the sea.
Príncipe
Producer
While wandering around the city on his bike, as if trying to find a path for his life, a nameless protagonist thinks about the encounters and mis-encounters that perpetuate or change his routines, about the fears that trap him and the dreams and desires that set him free. Gradually, the vertices of a love triangle are revealed, leading him to confess his anxieties and to question his certainties.
My Mum's Letters
Producer
On this surrealistic tale, we follow Alice, 13, bubbly, colorful and… a Daughter of Death! Every day she receives a letter with a name and does her duty unwillingly. But her views on her job are challenged when she starts developing a relationship with a suicidal teenager.
Luana
Director
Luana plays between trains and swings while she waits for her father on the other side of the line.
From Coal to Waste - The Return to São Pedro da Cova
Director of Photography
40 years later, Rui Simões returns to São Pedro da Cova to exhibit the photographs he took during the directing of São Pedro da Cova's films. From this reencounter a new message to the centralised powers: now it's toxic waste that is threatening people's health. 40 years later. From coal to waste, the fight goes on.
An Ocean Away From Home
Director
Nobody knows the exact number of Portuguese fishermen that died in the cod fishing campaigns, during the dictatorship decades of the XXth century. Buried in the sea, or in faraway places in Newfoundland and Greenland, those sailors were left behind by the same country that glorified their role in the national efforts to rebuild the image of Portugal as a Country of seamen and navigators. Telling the stories of some of these anonymous men is our way of rescuing them from the oblivion, and of taking them – or their memory, at least - back home.
Irmãos
Director of Photography
Hundreds of children and men walk, aligned, through the roads and trails of São Miguel Island, in Azores, a sacred place where nature and faith come together. They pray for them, for their family and for anyone that meet them on the road. Over one week and 300 km, it's a journey of tears, joy and sharing, during a tradition that started 500 years ago.
