JOURNEY INTO THE SUN

Synopsis
Journey to the Sun reflects on children in situations of conflict and post-conflict, and the potency of their gaze in revealing the realities obfuscated by official narratives. The film is based on the testimonies of former Austrian children, who were sent to Portugal in the post-war period, to a country spared the ravages of war. Using only archival imagery, Journey to the Sun establishes multiple resonances with current-day Europe, where the space for the Other has been drastically reduced.

THE CYPRESS DANCE

Synopsis
“A Dança do Cipreste” (The Cypress Dance) springs from our interest in the immanent transformations of the body driven by dreams and desire, love and death, in their lucid and ghostly variants. Embracing the influence of imagination in the encounter with nature, it brings to light relationships of continuity and discontinuity with other beings and elements, as it follows the movements of a family circle. Mariana, Henrique, Artur and Rafael, find themselves in mutual projections and symbiotic relationships, in the days spent outdoors and in imaginary places.
