André Gil Mata retrospective at Batalha Centro de Cinema

Batalha Centro de Cinema

On Thursday, a comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the work of André Gil Mata begins at Batalha Centro de Cinema, with the national preview of "Patio do Carrasco"!

Notes from the cinema on the retrospective:

The notion of home while fundamental, life and death, childhood and old age, representation and memory are some of the recurring concerns in Gil Mata's cinema. In his films, usually dark and melancholic, he stands out a way of "carving time" that affirms him as an odd director in the national context.

In addition to his full filmography, this retrospective integrates a director’s pick — Aleksandar Petrović’s “Tri,” — and a special session on Cinema Trindade where the first publication dedicated to his film practice will be released.

Na quinta-feira, damos início à retrospetiva integral dedicada à obra de André Gil Mata, com a antestreia nacional de “Pátio do Carrasco”!

A noção de casa enquanto reduto fundamental, a vida e a morte, a infância e a velhice, a representação e a memória são algumas das preocupações recorrentes no cinema de Gil Mata. Nos seus filmes, por norma sombrios e melancólicos, sobressai um modo de “esculpir o tempo” que o afirma como um realizador ímpar no contexto nacional.

Para além da sua filmografia completa, esta retrospetiva integra uma escolha do realizador — “Tri”, de Aleksandar Petrović — e uma sessão especial no Cinema Trindade, onde será lançada a primeira publicação dedicada à sua prática fílmica.
