The film follows Monchique’s distillers who disclose their ancient know-how of harvesting and distilling the spirit made of the strawberry tree fruit. More than the process and the result, it is a meditation on the mountain range’s specific length and time.
Screened with: Casa na Serra | Caderno de Viagem
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.
