Human Nature
Mónica Lima
In an apartment in a city under curfew, a day expands from early Spring to late Summer. A couple experiences a
disconnect. While Alba searches for a feeling of optimism in
the interior of the house, Xavier escapes out into the garden,
where he dedicates himself to cultivating a vegetable garden.
There, he befriends a child. These dreamlike encounters
awaken hope in him, but also the biggest fears.

Great Yarmouth - Provisional Figures
Marco Martins
October 2019, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (UK). Three months before Brexit.
Hundreds of Portuguese migrant workers pour into town, seeking work at the local turkey factories. Once a favourite holiday destination for the English working class, Great Yarmouth is now an echo of its former glory, a place with one of the highest unemployment rates in the UK.
The factories take advantage of the numerous decaying hotels on the beach front to house the seasonal workers coming in from Portugal and Eastern Europe. They do the jobs no one wants. Tânia (also known as The Mother of the Portuguese), is a former worker in these poultry plants and is now married to an English hotel owner. She is the perfect facilitator for the Portuguese workers, but dreams of becoming a British citizen and leaving this dirty business behind by transforming her husband’s derelict hotels into refurbished senior citizens homes. But the arrival of her latest group of immigrants for the Christmas season unleashes a series of events that disrupts her volatile existence.

Blue Has No Dimensions
Ágata de Pinho
Ara had always believed she would disappear at twenty-eight years old. With that birthday approaching, she pursues the most basic feelings of existence in the water, the sun and the sublime. The state of trance is a wholesome place, alien-like, pervaded by invisible forces.
When Ara realizes where her belief came from, she's propelled to catharsis: does she disappear?

The Life We Know
Cláudia Ribeiro
In a hamlet of Portugal’s remote inland, between the rivers Douro and Tâmega,
there live about thirty people. At the top of
a hill, we find sisters Ana and Glória living
in an isolated place which the baker, the
fishmonger, the grocer, and their children
visit once a week. Everything else comes
from the soil, which the two sisters work
from sunrise to sunset, amidst the strips of
farmed land. We follow the agricultural
cycle over the course of a year as the
relationship between the director and the
protagonists ripens. The veil is lifted on
these women’s day-to-day lives and their
deepest thoughts about life in the
countryside, the only life they know.

What Is Not Seen
Paulo Abreu
Documentary film 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.

Dogs Barking at Birds
Leonor Teles
School is over and there's a hustle in the air. In Porto, tourists fill up the streets and cafés. The old and decadent are now the highlights of the city’s gentrification.
Vicente moves around town on his bike and watches the urban changes happening
day to day. The town is no longer the same, the world is changing and so is he.
Among his family and friends, Vicente lives with anticipation the first days of summer
and the beginning of a new life.

A Pleasure, Comrades!
José Filipe Costa
1975, the year after the Carnation Revolution. Eduarda, João and Mick come from Northern Europe to work in the co-ops in the occupied farms of central Portugal. Like many others, they come to help with the land and the livestock, give medical appointments, family planning classes, show sexual education films and participate in the traditional dances. They bring a great deal of questions, but the “comrades from the South”, in turn, have more questions than answers:
- Comrades, do you want to know how we behave? Do you want to know who we are? How we treat our women and children? How we interact with each other and how we love? Come! We will find each other peculiar, and we will surely disagree on many things, but it’s all part of this revolutionary celebration!
- Comrades, do you want to know how we behave? Do you want to know who we are? How we treat our women and children? How we interact with each other and how we love? Come! We will find each other peculiar, and we will surely disagree on many things, but it’s all part of this revolutionary celebration!

Ashore
Leonor Teles
Ashore portrays the life of a singular fisherman in an ancient riverfront community near Lisbon.
Divided between the quiet solitude of the river and the family ties that wash him ashore, the film follows Albertino Lobo, as nature renews itself with each season cycle.

Djon Africa
Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra
Miguel Moreira, also known as Tibars, also known as Djon África, learns that genetics can be cruel when his physiognomy - as well as some of his strong personality traits - denounce him, straightaway, as his father’s son; someone he has never known.
This intriguing discovery leads him to try to find out who this man is. All he knows about him is what his grandmother, with whom he has always lived, has told him. A raving curiosity makes him decide to go look for him. Following the journey of John Tibars to meet his father we will also encounter the territory of the dream that haunts memories, desires or mythologies of a good part of those who maintain their cultural roots and the genesis of their identity in the African continent. Tibars lives two identities in conflict and at the same time in harmony. What’s living in a ghetto in Portugal and being an African without being it? This ambivalence finds a projection of a lifetime in this adventure. Africa appears here with a whole load of imagination, in the projection not only of the place, but also of its essence, of its belonging.

Life out there, has it been seen?
Filipe Carvalho
Pyrite has run out in the old mining complex of São
Domingos.
But in this semi-abandoned
territory, which is a
national heritage site,
life persists.
Is a vision of the future
important for the present
of this small village?
Observing life unfold in
Mina de São Domingos, the
film offers an utopian
path towards the future
of this territory and its
community.

José Filipe Costa
A courtroom is a theatre and a death may be staged. Two policemen are accused in a court
of law of the unlawful murder of J. J.’s mother

attorney, to determine who her son was: was

beside his body is a gun and drugs.

Batrachian's Ballad
Leonor Teles
“Simultaneously
strange and familiar, distant and near, disquieting and seductive, outsider and
cosmopolitan, Gypsies are shrouded in an aura of ambiguity. They cannot be said
to be invisible, as they hardly go unnoticed.”
Daniel Seabra Lopes in Deriva Cigana, 2008
Like the Gypsies, ceramic frogs don't go unnoticed to a careful observer. Batrachian's Ballad comes about in a context of ambiguity. A film that intervenes in the reality of Portuguese everyday life, as a form of fabling about a xenophobic behaviour.

On The Side
Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra
It's a possible portrait of Portugal in 2015.

The Indispensible Practice of Vagueness
Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra
“To beget something new through things which aren’t exactly new.”
Manuel Castro Caldas
Ar.Co embodies each person’s geography, it escapes normalisation. Each individual’s experience is his own. This film is my experience, our experience. Pieced together from the school’s archive, from recordings of classes by Manuel Castro Caldas and from conversations at home.

Trading Cities
Luísa Homem and Pedro Pinho
In 2008, the growing tourism industry of Cape Verde was frozen. The building of many hotels and resorts by foreigner companies had to be stopped due to a shortage of sand. The sand industry, primary resource for the production of concrete, had reached a dramatic level, endangering the beaches. This event caused a huge euphoria among the businessmen of Mauritania. A great number of trucks started to flow to the Nouakchott port, where many boats sail out to feed the tourist constructions in Cape Verde. Trading Cities starts in Lisbon on a cargo ship. We will undertake an Atlantic route that re‐enacts these daily travels, in order to highlight the physical and social transformations in the landscape that these exchanges produce.

Fragments of a Participant Observation
Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra
While observing others, Paula is also, herself, observed.
" – Know the difference between an old maid and a spinster? The old maid doesn’t have a choice. "

The End of The World
Pedro Pinho
A day at the beach, just before the summer holidays. A recently arrived girl who causes some curiosity. A whisper. A disruption - power goes out, a general blackout - maybe it was an accident, maybe it's only a pretext for a night together.

Cat's Cradle
Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra
“Things happen, they occur and we either take advantage or we don’t. There’s a children’s game that, in Portugal, goes by the name cat’s cradle: the children tie a rope in a circle, then someone’s hand does this, someone else comes along and complicates it somehow, some finger complicates it even more, yet another one comes and twists his intertwined fingers and pulls his hand, and a new figure is formed. This game is called cat’s cradle. I think that what we have, in life, is a perpetual children’s game with the cat’s cradle, that life presents us with a problem, we look to see what we can get out of it, then we stick our fingers in it, we go like this and something else comes out. At best, the ability we can hope to achieve is that of becoming children again, and be able to truly see how the cat‘s cradle turns out.”

Generation Orchestra
Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra
Generation Orchestra is a portrait of the impact of an initiative by the same name on students from the Miguel Torga School, in Amadora. The initiative was inspired by the international project Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar, the apex of the National Network of Youth and Children's Orchestras of Venezuela.
Ana, Daniel, Diogo and Mónica take part in Generation Orchestra and devote themselves to a project that breaks with the formatted context of public schooling and becomes an indispensable part of their lives. From the onset, starting with Drama classes, we discover their dreams, their relationship with music and their sense of truly belonging to a group.

Li Ké Terra
Filipa Reis, João Miller Guerra and Nuno Baptista
Li Ké Terra (Our Home)
tells the story of Miguel and Ruben, two Cape Verdean immigrant
descendants who live in Portugal but have no legal documents. They
are torn between the desire to be a full Portuguese citizen and the
obstacles they find in their day to day. Proud of being who they are
they keep on dreaming of their future expressing at the same time
their wishes for a better life.
Above all, Miguel and Ruben lead us to one question: What kind of identity has a stateless person?

Maputo Dancing Dump
Marco Pasquini
Suares is a group leader and an amazing dancer.
He presents us to his friends and introduced us to the world of trash in Hulene neighborhood, in Maputo, Mozambique’s capital. While they are cooking in large garbage cans, they tell us how they organize the work and establish hierachies and the microeconomics of this place. A setting that is far from being sad, especially when in the midst of the garbage they improvise choreographies.
