This year, 2024, the film laboratory residency took place from 4 to 17 August in Idanha-a-Velha, in partnership with the Idanha-à-Vida project, 33 participants and the village. 21 short films of different genres were produced, but with a common territory and experience.
To celebrate the 10th edition, we’re very happy to be able to return to Galeria Zé dos Bois, the house that welcomed us for the final show of the first edition in 2015, and invite all the curious people and those who have followed us with such affection and conviction, to be present at this film show, and then, let’s party!
It was in 2015 that the group of friends Carlos Gaspar, Catarina Simões, Inês T. Alves, Patrik Thomas and Sebastião Braga, with a history of joining forces to make artistic creation possible, decided to found and start the project.
In its youth, the workshop, which is annual and itinerant, began in one place and ended in another. Although we started in Lisbon, we wanted to focus on decentralisation: from the urban to the rural, from the coast to the interior, with interspersed shows. We then took these exhibitions travelling around the country and created a network of widespread participation. From 2019 onwards, we’ll focus on a single region, creating a greater connection between places and people, and we’ll have the logistical, creative, communication and emotional tools to enable 20 to 30 people to create films over 15 days.
We’ve been surprised by each other, by so many friendships, so many adventures, over time, that the Movement, through mutual support between participants, local, associative and municipal partnerships, overcoming difficulties, has materialised and is still going strong.
