The short film O Ciclo, by Zepe (José Pedro Cavalheiro) and producer AIM Studios, was one of the projects selected for the Euro Connection 2017, the European film co-production forum that takes place every year during the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. This platform, which culminates in the pitching of the selected projects on February 7th and 8th, aims to develop partnerships between producers, investors, sponsors and televisions.
In previous years, Portugal was represented in the Euro Connection through films such as Do Berço prá Cova (João Vladimiro), Rafa (João Salaviza), Abismo (Leonor Noivo) or Papel de Natal (José Miguel Ribeiro). IndieLisboa and Curtas Vila do Conde are the Portuguese festivals associated with Euro Connection.
