Otakar Vávra’s group of fourth-year students made a collective student film shaped as a newsreel that in some ways prefigures Pearls of the Deep and is distinguished by its mature fluency in visual, editing, and sound experimentation.
Doclisboa wants to question the present of film, bringing along its history and assuming cinema as a mode of freedom. By refusing the categorization of film practice, it searches for the new problematics that cinematic image implies, in its multiple ways of engagement with the contemporary.
Doclisboa tries to be a place to imagine reality through new modes of perception, reflection, and possible new forms of action.
