The holiday of April 25 is arriving and we will give you good reasons to come to IndieLisboa: Lacrau of João Vladimiro and Domestic of Gabriel Mascaro will have two new sessions at Cinema City Classic Alvalade.
Lacrau will have two projections on April 25 at Cinema City Classic Alvalade. For technical reasons, the session on Thursday, at 21:45, will be in room 2 of the Cinema City Classic Alvalade. The 2nd display will be at 23:45, also in room 2.
If the scorpion could see and the viper could hear, there would be no escape”. The viper is deaf and the scorpion can’t see, so it is and so shall be, the same way the countryside is peaceful and the city bustling and the human being impossible to satisfy. Lacrau demands the return “to the curve where man got lost” in a journey from the city towards nature. The escape from chaos and emotional void we call progress; matter without spirit, without will. The search for the most ancient sensations and relationships of mankind. The amazement, the fear of the unknown, the loss of basic comforts, loneliness, the meeting with the other, the other animal, the other vegetable. A dive looking for a connection with the world. Where beginning and end are the same, but I am not. (João Vladimiro)
Motivated by the huge influx of people that haven’t had the opportunity to see the second session of the film Domestica of Gabriel Mascaro, we will have a new session to be held in room 3 of the Cinema City Classic Alvalade at 20:00.
Seven adolescents take on the mission of filming, for one week, their family’s housemaids and hand over the footage to the director to make a film. The images that confront us uncover the complex relationship that exists between housemaids and their employers, a relationship that confuses intimacy and power in the workplace and provides us with an insight into the echoes of a colonial past in contemporary Brazil. In between tasks, maids talk about their backgrounds, work, love and happiness.
