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.
Marta Hernaiz Pidal and her producer Rosa Galguera Ortega participated in the latest Torino Meeting Event wither their new film in development, AL FONDO A LA DERECHA, and won several Production Prizes at their award ceremony- CONGRATULATIONS and we cannot wait to see the film go into production soon!
This is what they were granted:
EWA Network Female Voices Award, the Sub-ti Award, the Sub-ti Access Award and the The GREEN FILMING AWARD.

TEMPORARY VISA, the debut feature film of Ghazi Alqudcy screened recently in the Asian Film Festival Barcelona (Casa Asia), where it won the Best Film in the Discovery Section of the festival.
Here is what the judges had to say about the film:
“Best film for Discovery section awarded to Temporary Visa (Singapore) by Ghazi Alqudcy for approaching us in a very alive, uninhibited and truthful way - with a camera language in hand, direct and innovative - to a tough latent reality among all those young people who survive to find their site in a system that does not count or is designed for them, and we find it very suitable to reward the film in a section that tries to discover new directors and the employment of risky cinematic languages.” – Asian Film Festival Barcelona (Casa Asia)”
The film will also soon screen in SARAWAK - Rumah Filem and Borneo Art Collective (Ghazi will be attending the Q&A on 14th Nov 2019 - 8pm, doors open at 7.30pm)
Kaori’s Oda’s intriguing documentary set in Mexico has been selected to screen in the Bright Future Main Programme.
Synopsis:
In Northern Yucatan, Mexico, natural sinkholes called 'cenotes' constituted the sole water source for Mayans not living near a river or lake. Some cenotes were used for ritual sacrifices, and the Mayans believed that these holy springs connected this world to the afterlife.
The past and present of those living around the cenotes coalesce in this mysterious place. Long-lost memories echo in hallucinatory turquoise underwater footage, an entrancing game of light and dark. Swimming in these sinkholes, director Oda Kaori encounters intriguing shapes and beams of light, the water heaves, drops fall like razor blades.
Oda, who studied under Béla Tarr in Sarajevo, previously made Aragane, which was shot in a Bosnian coal mine. For Cenote, she used Super-8 film and a bubbling water soundscape. A captivating form for her impressions of a place where, as a ghostly voiceover explains, nothing is forgotten.
Link to Film Listing in Rotterdam: https://iffr.com/en/2020/films/cenote
Directed by our Kaori Oda and Co-produced by our Marta Hernaiz Pidal - a Japanese-Mexican co-production.
Details:

The latest film from the director of Aragane (YIDFF 2015).
