Movies

Dificuldade de Governar
Director
Animation of Bertolt Brecht's namesake poem recited by Mario Viegas
O Espelho da Cidade
Director
Documentary that describes us the life of a city - the city of Aveiro - seen by a very private telescope. The film is born with the dawn that rises, progresses pulled by time, culminates with the amphibious activity of the city and ends with the sun diving in the wide waters of the bar. And the color changes throughout the day in the ghost town, clear and liquid.
Sol, Suor e Sal
Director
About life and work in the salt pans
Figuras e Abstracto
Director
Considered the first Portuguese abstract film. In the already difficult category of fantasy, in fact this production marks an extraordinarily prominent place, since its production, both technically and artistic, denotes qualities of knowledge, taste and patience, which can hardly be found together in the same individual. The film begins by showing us a painter who, in his pursuit of art, ends up experimenting with a mixture of representative drawings of figurative art and others of abstract art. Vasco Branco carried out an important experiment in the field of cinema without camera. The second part of the film, exactly where the fantasy develops, was made with drawings open to steel-tipped film, then directly colored in watercolor and guacho.
O Menino e o Caranguejo
Director
A boy lives obsessed with having a crab as a pet, but frees him to take care of his survival
