Scene, shot, counter-shot, movement, flow, cut, character, frame, juxtaposition, sequence… cinema’s terms and lingo are particularly apt when talking about the work of Jorge Queiroz. His work seems to hold some sort of latent cinematographic suggestion as if the spaces and figures present therein emanate from an obscure and elliptical script. This suspicion was recently corroborated by the emergence of a set of works whose title – The Case (O Caso) – inevitably infused the observer with the expectation of narrative. Maybe that’s why we thought of challenging Jorge Queiroz to set a film cycle – a small sample of his of references in the motion picture context. After we have reduced to five an original list of twenty titles, here is the final lot, free of charge and no strings attached. Screenings every Wednesday, between June 20 and July 18, at 7:00 p.m., with another session at 10:00 p.m.
