Blue and Silver

João Coroa Justino

IndieLisboa 2021 • Brand New

Portugal, Documentary, Experimental, 2020, 15′

A film that is the culmination of seven years of filming, with intimate and abstract images, that captures the details and the big picture. The de- and re-contextualization of these images creates a symphony.

Director's Bio

Born in Lisbon, Portugal, 1986, I have long cultivated an interest in films of all eras and sensibilities. I now aspire to make some of my own.

I am mostly interested in small-scale productions where the act of directing is akin to that of writing, photographing, or painting.

I have been working as an editor, of late, having recently finished work on documentary "Four Seasons and Autumn" (Pedro Sena Nunes, 2018).
