Bardo – Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu

En la literatura las memorias son un género muy celebrado. En pintura, la tradición casi obliga a hacerte un autorretrato. En el cine creo que se acusa, casi a nivel personal, cuando uno lo hace. Lo mejor que puedes hablar es de lo que te ha pasado, allí es donde puedes ser más honesto. Tu vida es única y es una mirada única. Eso es lo que puedes regalar. Desde el conocimiento y la experiencia personal. Desacreditar eso me parece que es peligroso incluso para las nuevas generaciones.

In literature, memoirs are a very celebrated genre. In painting, tradition almost forces you to make a self-portrait. In cinema, I think it’s almost a personal accusation when you do it. The best thing you can talk about is what has happened to you, that’s where you can be more honest. Your life is unique and it’s a unique look. That’s what you can give away. From personal knowledge and experience. To discredit that seems to me to be dangerous even for the new generations.

Mistida

Mistida is a film about our roots, and traditions, a reflection on immigration, directed by Wilker and filmed and produced by the ETSC Drama and Film School.

I liked it very much, of course it’s a school film with some technical problems, but from my point of view, that’s not the most important thing, but its content.With the participation of Bia Gomes and Welket Bungué, two splendid actors.

Timor-Lorosae

Biography & History-Diana Andringa

Filmed between March and May 2002, “East Timor, The Dream of the Crocodile” takes a different look at the former Portuguese colony.
The marks of the Indonesian occupation are still there, but East Timor celebrates its independence, achieved after years of struggle that many thought lost – but that the intelligence of the Maubere people and their leaders allowed them to win, using duplicity as a weapon. As Mário Caeiro Alves says, “In the land of horses you have to be like a horse in order not to get kicked. Or, in the words of Xanana Gusmão, “This war was the art of living with the enemy.”
“East Timor, The Dream of the Crocodile” is a documentary about the intelligence of a people, about the joy of victory and reflection on the future of the youngest country. Xanana Gusmão is the leading thread of the short version, although his voice is intertwined with many others, from armed and clandestine fighters, priests and bishops, even those who were sometimes seen as collaborating with the enemy – and were, after all, also an interlocutor of the resistance.
Highlight to the people, those whose names are not in the history books, but deserve not to be forgotten, like the catechist who, during the period of Indonesian occupation, stubbornly continued to teach Portuguese, or the family who gave up their own house to refugees fleeing Liquiçá, after the massacre that took place there.
The photography by Vasco Riobom and the sound by Quintino Bastos do justice to the beauty of East Timor, the most recent member of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries.

Clint Eastwood

the realist filmmaker

“It would be rash to consider that such a view turns Eastwood into an “anti-system” filmmaker (or with any other more or less futile label that attracts free speculation). In fact, in the most primitive, and also more philosophical sense of the words, he is a filmmaker of Law and Order, marked by a viscerally American value: no defense of the collective can legitimize the arbitrary crushing of individual existences.”
