MUBI Podcast host Rico Gagliano traveled to the Cannes Film Festival, camera crew in tow, to chat it up with a cross-section of filmmakers debuting their movies there. Our Cannes Conversations mini-season concludes this week with two final interviews.

“Légua” by Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra has its world premiere in Directors Fortnight.

It is co-produced by Catarina Mourão at Portugal’s Laranja Azul, Alexandre Gavras at France’s KG Productions and Jon Coplon at Italy’s Stayblack Productions. World sales are repped by Luxbox, a sign of a high-profile arthouse proposition. The directors spoke to Variety.

Set to have its world premiere screening (05.23) in the Directors’ Fortnight section, we have your exclusive first look at poster one-sheet for tandem Filipa Reis & João Miller Guerra‘s sophomore fiction feature Légua.

Discover “LÉGUA” by Filipa Reis & João Miller Guerra, a film presented at the Quinzaine des Cinéastes at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Immerse yourself in the moving story of Emilia, the caretaker of an old house in Portugal, and Ana , whose health is deteriorating, as they seek their place in a changing world.

There will be a special screening of late Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira’s 1993 drama Abraham’s Valley to mark the film’s 30th anniversary of its original Directors’ Fortnight debut.

Há outro filme português no programa da 76ª edição do Festival de Cannes (de 16 a 27 de Maio), foi hoje anunciado: trata-se da nova longa-metragem de Filipa Reis e João Miller Guerra, co-produção Uma Pedra no Sapato/Laranja Azul. A dupla está seleccionada para a mais prestigiada das secções paralelas do festival, a Quinzena dos Cineastas, com Légua, filme que sucede a Djon África (2018) na colaboração entre os dois cineastas.
