On 10 September, at 19:15, at the Batalha Centro de Cinema, Filmaporto \u2014 film commission presents a screening dedicated to some of the films that have recently stood out on the competitive film-festival circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme brings together four works of differing cinematic languages and approaches, whose common ground is their relationship with the city, memory, identity and the transformations of the contemporary world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The screening opens with Ultravioleta<\/em>, by Jos\u00e9 Magro, which sets out from an episode in 1954, when an unidentified flying object was sighted over Florence\u2019s municipal stadium during a Fiorentina match. Seventy years later, the fiction imagines the return of the extraterrestrials to Earth, confronting them with abandoned stadiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next comes Porto2000<\/em>, by Matilde Camacho, a sensory journey through the Porto of the 2000s. Built from the gathering, manipulation and frame-by-frame animation of thousands of photographs drawn from different lives, the film creates a collective vision of a city poised between memory and imagination. The result is the portrait of a Porto that may no longer exist \u2014 or that perhaps never existed in quite that form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vermelhos do Asfalto<\/em> (Asphalt Reds), by Jo\u00e3o Niza Ribeiro, follows Omar, a young Beninese man working illegally in Porto as a courier. As the violent repression of migrants unfolds in Melilla, Omar rides through the streets of the city on his motorbike, delivering parcels under the constant control of the platforms\u2019 \u201cdigital eye\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, Massa M\u00e3e<\/em>, by Maria Novo, centres on Maria and Mat\u00edas, two characters marked by different forms of restlessness. Maria remains bound to a love from the past, while Mat\u00edas is obsessed with the idea of freedom. Between waiting, hope and fermentation, both seek to understand time and to find a way of controlling what seems to escape them: fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The screening will be presented by Jos\u00e9 Magro, Maria Novo and Matilde Camacho, also providing a moment of contact between the directors and the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Admission is free; tickets must be collected on the day itself, with access limited to two per person.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On 10 September, at 19:15, at the Batalha Centro de Cinema, Filmaporto \u2014 film commission presents a screening dedicated to some of the films that have recently stood out on the competitive film-festival circuit.
