O Retrato
Cláudia Clemente
Jani Zhao, Miguel Borges
Abel Salazar, a scientist and an artist persecuted by the Fascist regime in the 40ies, is trying to finish a portrait, obsessed by the face of a woman. Ana, a young researcher in the present days, is dreaming about him. Or is it the other way round?
The Portrait
Taprobana
Gabriel Abrantes
Natxo Checa, Jani Zhao
In this short comedy, Luis Vaz de Camoes, the greatest Portuguese renaissance poet, struggles creatively while engaging in a hedonistic, coprophagic, and drug addled lifestyle. The film follows the poet, and his lover Dinamene, as he writes his masterpiece, the epic poem "Os Lusiadas." He travels from the cacophony of the Indic jungles, surrounded by allegorical elephants and rhyming macaques, to the frontier of Heaven and Hell, where he is confronted by his fantasy: fame and immortality.

A Song of Lisbon
Hotel Royal
Salomé Lamas
Ana Moreira, Carloto Cotta
'In the course of my cleaning duties, I examined the belongings of each guest of the hotel and observed through the details, lives that will remain unknown', says the temporary Chambermaid in a large seaside hotel, which, unable to communicate, lives through a rigid methodology of analysis of the exterior and a ritualised quotidian. Until the uncontrollable comes to disrupts this dynamic. Hotel Royal is fragmented and incomplete mosaic of contemporary societies. It could be dubbed a film about the horrors of the soul, about voyeurs or simply about misfits.
