From Freedom To Freedom
Sound
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. Shorts Featured: Your Spaceship by Vasco Mendes, Tema Libre by Felipe Rios Fuentes, I Can't Help by Daniel Brereton, Nothing but the Mountains of the Past by João Diogo Marques, Un Pays Lointain by Vincent Moon and Priscilla Telmon, Some Kind of Connection by Sophy Romvari and Mike Thorn, a day in Bangkok by Nisha Jurairattanaporn, Desabitar by Diana Antunes, 2020 Chimaera by Miguel C. Tavares and José Alberto Gomes
2020 CHIMAERA
Sound
The word ‘chimaera’ came to signify not just a hybrid animal but anything that seemed to be impossible or a figment of our imagination. In the first months of 2020 more than 3.9 billion people, or half of the world's population, were asked or ordered to stay at home by their governments to contain the spread of the covid-19 virus. This ‘chimaera’ of speech, narratives, faces, expressions and realities is the result of the illusion of contacting a common interlocutor, apparently real and original, that lives permanently in a common interface, a distant and artificial reality.

Carquejeiras - As Escravas do Porto
Music
Documentary by Arminda Sousa Deusdado on the carquejeiras of Porto, forgotten women who during the 19th century and the early 20th century brought to the city of Porto the gorse that they unloaded from the boats docked on the banks of the Douro.
Cloud Tryptic
Music
Inspired by an atmosphere of clouds, dunes and lagoons, CLOUD TRYPTIC explores the natural elements that compose the conceptual imagery of CARLA PONTES’ ss17 collection. Conceived and interpreted as a whole, CLOUD TRYPTIC is divided into three distinct moments that touch and cross each other, becoming one single entity. Presented step-by-step, we can only find all the visual and sound layers once we see them side by side, overlapping aligned and misaligned horizons.
在中间 IN BETWEEN 在中間
Music
We live in an increasingly virtual world without leaving the physical places our bodies inhabit. We are alone but at the same time we keep constantly contact with the world. The city feeds this dual mobility - physical and virtual - through a variety of situations, routines and rhythms in our everyday life. Spaces deeply encoded and propitious to individualism and indifference, transform us in spectators of places where no one is truly part of. This film is about this state of loneliness, about ambiguity and disorientation, darkness and silence. A space between confusion, chaos and liberation.

Become Ocean
Sound Designer
It's about a memory of a place and a time. It’s about an idea of isolation and the sea’s omnipresence. An exploration between temporary and permanent that takes us to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, on a trip around the Azores and a specific project located in São Miguel island: Two Manifolds by Nuno Pimenta.

Caixa Aberta
Music
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.
