In conversation/Susana de Sousa Dias, João Pedro Rodrigues, and Nuno Lisboa
(Natureza morta). In her poetic first film, de Sousa Dias delves into a fascinating array of archival images from the period of the Salazar dictatorship. Official images and political propaganda films are slowed down and freed from their original soundtracks. By combining this footage with photos of political prisoners, the film allows us to meditate on how the authoritarian regime—as well as, more innocently, cinema itself—“still lives.”
• (72 mins, B&W, Digital video, From Kintop)
Followed by:
The King’s Body
(João Pedro Rodrigues, Portugal, 2013)
(O corpo de Afonso) Rodrigues asks questions of disparate men in his innovative new film, which is both a casting session and a history lesson. (30 mins, In Galician with English subtitles, Color, Digital video, From Agencia da Curta Metragem)
Total running time: 102 mins
