SELECTED FILMS

This film is the second in a series of films discussing the impact of Portugal's long and controversial presence in the world.
People who over generations have been influenced, converted, submitted, displaced, and assimilated by the Portuguese, how do they live, think, remember, dream and resist today?
This film goes to Goa (India) where the assimilation of the Portuguese way of life survives through a fervently Catholic and romantically anachronistic style, while still based on the ancient Brahmanic traditions. A bewildering game of mirrors.

The road to ruin is blindingly beautiful in Heleno, a tempestuous portrait of Heleno de Freitas, the 1940s Brazilian football star whose passion for the game was matched only by his addiction to women and the contempt for his Botafogo teammates. His priorities in his nascent career, as he tells a reporter in the film, were "goals, slim waists and Cadillacs“.

Living in the remote lands of southwest Angola, the Hereros are a bantu people with an ancient tradition passed on from one generation to another. To an external eye a merely exotic tribe, this documentary shows the living knowledge of the Hereros in constant movement, from birth to demise showing daily life along the way. A unique film about a people with virtually no recorded history.

Kuduro is an urban cultural movement born out of Angolan discos and raves in downtown Luanda through a mixture of house, techno and traditional Angolan rhythms. The movement is at once a style of music, dance, fashion and culture, explored in this documentary through the distinct performances of its greatest stars.

In a village inexplicable haunted by a plague of zombies, Lucio, an honest worker, is the only person who can fight them.

Every day, a father and his son jump with a parachute from their vertiginous cold house, attached to a cliff, to go to the village on the ground, far away where they sell the ice they produce daily.
