Event Information
Description
UTOPIA FILM FESTIVAL in partnership with CILAVS proudly presents
a special screening of new Portuguese audiovisual essays (12A*) presented by Professor of Digital Media and Screen Studies Catherine Grant
Exploring the possibilities of the audiovisual essay, this group of films expresses a string of very personal views on film history. Some of these survey while others celebrate the filmic roles of intimacy, work, politics, the female gaze, dance, comedy, fear and the death of cinema itself. They take risks while blending different materials or trying to say something very personal through film. An example of creative and engaged film writing, the product of a dynamic film lab at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. All works made under the tutorship of lecturer and film critic Luís Mendonça at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa.
