Like any industrious coastal town or city, Rio de Janeiro's port region has always been a hub for the confluence of cultures, nationalities and identities. Since 2013, it has also formed the basis of a research project for filmmaker Julia De Simone. Her third feature-length film – which was supported by IFFR’s Hubert Bals Fund in 2014 – shifts away from straightforward documentary and towards a more fictionalised form as it presents the story of Muanza, a woman born in the Kingdom of Kongo in the early nineteenth century and trafficked to Brazil, who awakens to find herself in the present, roaming the streets of Rio’s rapidly changing port region, known as ‘Pequena Africa’, or Little Africa.

Uma proposta para a história do corpo a partir do percurso de uma das maiores companhias de dança portuguesas do século XX. O documentário de Marco Martins caminha a par do desenvolvimento da dança em Portugal e da história política, económica e sociocultural do país.

A partir de imagens de arquivo inéditas e entrevistas a vários criadores e bailarinos acompanhamos o trajeto de uma companhia extraordinária, através dos movimentos e das palavras dos seus protagonistas, da sua génese no início dos anos 60 até à extinção em 2005.

Em 1975, depois da Revolução dos Cravos em Portugal, muitos estrangeiros e portugueses do norte vão para a região central do país para ajudar nas recém-formadas cooperativas. Mas suas visões progressistas sobre os costumes e a sexualidade logo se chocam com os comportamentos locais. O filme nasceu de um conjunto de relatos orais, textos literários e diários sobre essa experiência. Entre os portugueses das aldeias e os estrangeiros, chamados de turistas revolucionários, criaram-se tensões, mas também cumplicidade e, em alguns casos, amor.

Cláudia Ribeiro spent seven months – since the time of plantation till the crops – capturing the work in the fields of the sisters Ana e Glória, in Passinhos de Cima, between the rivers Douro and Tâmega. It is an isolated place, where the baker, the fish seller, the grocer and their sons visit once a week. This a film on a way of life, the subsistence agriculture, but also about the humour and the ironies of representation and hospitality.

Shot in two of the Azores islands, Pico and Faial, between 2015 and 2016. The idea of this film happened by accident. Going back to the footage of a location scouting from a previous project, canceled years before, another hidden film was found. The power of Nature and the role of chance in the creative process build a narrative about life, friendship, cinema and the influence of the unexpected in artistic creation.

Using the author's personal estate, current images of places where she lived or were dear to her, and archival images of television and film; using parts of her prose and poetry always with first-person testimonies; from Porto to Lisbon, from Granja to Lagos, from the Atlantic Sea to the Mediterranean, from Greece to 25 April: the passions and disappointments of a life and work dedicated to the search for the real, freedom and justice.

Minas de São Domingos is a small village built on a mine in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Today, the mine, which in other times kept its neighbours in employment, is no longer operating. It is difficult to imagine a future for this slightly forgotten land, criss-crossed by ruins that bear witness to a happier era, and virtually abandoned by inhabitants forced to leave to find work elsewhere. It’s summer, children play in the street, tourists camp next to the river, adults burst into traditional song in the ruins of the mine. Here, everything happens as a community, as if being together was the only possible answer to the question formulated by the film’s title.

(within the project URB) CIDADE is a TV series that takes place in the diverse, urbanistically chaotic and multicultural periphery of Lisbon. Each episode has for landscape and dramatic background the everyday-life in the social housing neighborhoods and shanty towns of Lisbon. It explores the infinite possibilities of narratives and characters generated by the daily confrontation of the normal life of the city with several layers of cultural heritages and lifestyles, brought by different waves of migration. A network of interconnected characters, families and ties makes the narrative to evolve and illustrates the cultural, artistic, social and economic explosion that we are about to live in here.

Em 2008, no limiar da crise económica que se instalou depois, num arquipélago atlântico ao largo de África ocidental, a utilização intensiva de areia para construção de hotéis e resorts ameaça a existência das praias locais — a principal fonte de atração da florescente indústria turística. Ali ao lado, numa capital costeira em pleno deserto do Sara, os homens de negócios agitam-se com a possibilidade de exportar o seu recurso mais abundante. Inicia-se então um triângulo comercial que se completa com a exploração de brita vulcânica e com a transferência maciça de solo de um lugar ao outro, através do oceano.

Um dia na praia, antes das férias de Verão. Uma rapariga acabada de chegar que provoca curiosidade. Um rumor. Um desses dias que não acabam. Uma falha no sistema de distribuição de electricidade — um apagão — talvez se trate de um acidente, talvez seja só um pretexto para passar uma noite juntos.

Lives being lived, words, gestures, gazes cross our paths, amidst a chaos en framed by a rectangular grid of windows and balconies. Rows of buildings interconnected by corridors perched over courtyards. Each ones property off their private slice of the view. The geometry of the life of a neighborhood: Bela Vista.
