From Freedom To Freedom
Director
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.

Your Spaceship
Director
On April 17, 2020, 3 astronauts return to Earth after months on a mission in Space. They return to a different world than the one they were used to when they left. Where they would expect freedom, they find a closed and isolated environment, in silence, similar to what they are used to in Space. The city that never sleeps is asleep now, and the invisible borders turned into walls around us.
