Guerra
Director of Photography
A partir das recordações de um professor de língua portuguesa na atualidade, seguimos Manuel, seu pai, ex-combatente da guerra colonial e constantemente atormentado por essas lembranças. Iremos com ele até o fundo dos lugares físicos que o obcecam —dos quartéis da formação até aos lagos e jardins da sua juventude— bem como ao abismo da sua memória: a guerra e a paixão juntas, inseparáveis, numa batalha que pergunta ou grita as imemoriais dúvidas existenciais.
Os Conselhos da Noite
Cinematography
Roberto, jornalista retirado e desiludido com o seu passado, acaba de largar o trabalho no campo numa quinta alentejana, onde se recolheu nos últimos anos, longe dos grandes centros urbanos com que sonhou na juventude. Braga, a sua cidade natal e onde não mete os pés há mais de uma década, vai servir de esconderijo que ele pensa derradeiro, também devido à sua convulsa saúde. Mas, repentinamente, uma potente energia vai rasgar essa terra que julgava parada no tempo. Entre regressos à infância e estranhas asceses, amores proibidos e reencontros inesperados, a vida pulsante que o surpreende na noite e várias formas de arte viscerais, um fôlego incendiário vai tomar conta das suas entranhas rumo a um novo capítulo.
