Ici, Là-bas et Lisboa

João Vieira Torres

Patrícia Vidal Delgado, Filipe Afonso

Experimental documentary, visual poem on the meeting of a city which we do not see but which is present through the sounds and the thermal carthography body imprints of one of its inhabitants.

Aurora

João Vieira Torres

Everything starts in a dream in which I told my mother that I was going to look for the hundreds of children that my grandmother helped coming into life. She was a midwife and a healer for over forty years in the deep desertic Sertão of Northeast Brazil. Her name was Aurora. I did not get to know her. From one encounter to another, with the alive and the dead, the film follows the traces of Aurora’s ghost and confronting the structural violence, gender and racial wise, present in Brazil’s historical formation.

As crianças fantasmas

João Vieira Torres

Presents seven reminiscences of early childhood, read in seven different voices, as the camera presses close against the faded dye and exaggerated grain of family photographs from the early 1980s. The film encourages the audience to interrogate assumptions about gender, memory, performance, and death.
