An impassioned dialogue between Chytilová and Ivan Vyskočil, a Czech public intellectual, theatre professor and writer, who co-founded in 1958 the Theatre on the Balustrade: a refuge for the New Wave directors whose work had been thwarted by the Normalization process.
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.
