Produced as a celebration of IndieLisboa’s 10th anniversary, Here in Lisbon was born out of an invitation to four different filmmakers belonging to IndieLisboa’s history – and also some of the most interesting filmmakers in contemporary independent film – to create four different versions of Lisbon: Denis Côté (Les États Nordiques, 2006; Carcasses, 2010; Curling, 2011; Bestiaire, 2012; Que ta joie demeure, 2014), Dominga Sotomayor (Grand Prize City of Lisbon winner, in 2012, with De jueves a domingo), Gabriel Abrantes (Olimpia I and II, 2008; A History of Mutual Respect, 2010; Palácios de Pena, 2011, among others) and Marie Losier (Grand Prize City of Lisbon winner, in 2011, with The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye). Four different views of Lisbon through fiction, documentary, comedy and fantasy, driven by the will of creating a free portrait of our city — an unmissable session that will celebrate the nature of independent film (April 24, 21h30, at Cinema São Jorge) with our spectators and film community.
