O LOBO SOLITÁRIO é o título da segunda curta-metragem de Filipe Melo, que se encontra já em fase de finalização. Revelamos hoje o título, cartaz e elenco do filme para vos abrir o apetite para o sucessor de SLEEPWALK.

A mysterious shadow unveiling a female figure walking naked towards us in the desert. In another sequence, the same woman speaks on the phone, talking about the end of the world. In a third moment, a couple prepares breakfast in their apartment, with the same woman from the previous sequences embracing a baby. What will these three narrative moments have in common? What is the relationship between them? Everything and nothing. Is the answer in the woman’s emotional words on the phone? Or in her helpless expression when walking naked? Or in the happiness she seems to find in the domestic routine? Perhaps the charm is really not in trying to decipher, but in getting lost in this visual and impressionistic poem, this shake that slowly expands in our senses. Max Planck, one of the founders of the ancient quantum physics theory, said that energy has a discontinuous structure and can only exist under the form of fragments. These are the fragments that hide here an ethereal promise.

In 2016, Edgar Pêra released The Amazing Spectator, a playful investigation into cinema’s disquieting essence that had everything from negative film images of boobs and positively splendid interviews to a donkey hand puppet. The film and an accompanying book formed his PhD thesis. But as so often with him, projects turn into obsessions – especially when there are masses of notions not pondered, thoughts not elaborated upon. And so KINORAMA - Beyond the Walls of Cinema was born, a stand-alone continuation of The Amazing Spectator that looks at cinema’s future in cyberspace and, accordingly, perhaps the end of its enslavement to figurative representation, the 'stupid sacred in narrative cinema' (to use a Pêra’ism), realism and artificiality in 3D cinema, and many other aspects.

Esmagada contra o oceano pela encosta de um vulcão, a vila piscatória da Ribeira Quente na ilha de S. Miguel nos Açores vive os últimos dias de uma actividade piscatória tal como a conhecemos. A vida continua mesmo com o peixe a escassear enquanto todos lutam por dias normais.

Um filme sobre a sociedade portuguesa metropolitana e ultramarina no início da década de 60, à boleia da história de um jovem futebolista moçambicano chamado Eusébio, atleta predestinado do Sporting Clube Lourenço Marques, que se vê cobiçado e contratado pelo clube rival, o Benfica. Chantagem, tentativas de rapto, envolvimento de ministros, delírio nos jornais e promessas milionárias fazem da história da transferência do futebolista - um miúdo que nunca ninguém vira jogar - uma saga desenrolada em dois continentes. Termina quando a lenda começa : com a estreia de Eusébio na Luz.

I am the double of the shadow of my own image. An allegory that occupies my place. This is my act of contrition. Beyond good and evil, I stand as an equation: Its result cannot be manipulated By morals or ethics. In mathematics there is no place for beliefs Just as life and death Are a certain fate.

Two actors and a team hitch-hike along with friends and strangers, through the north of Portugal. The itinerary is a set of locations as random as the film is desired to be. There isn’t a movie yet. The idea develops as expectations change and dialogues are built, naturally, in each location.
