Doclisboa seeks to imagine reality through new cinematic forms of perception, reflection and action, placing filmmaking into dialogue with its history to question the present of cinema. Doclisboa is interested in films that are rigorous about their conceptual and formal implications; films that experiment with cinema’s artistic and political possibilities and refuse to be categorized; films that engage with and mirror the complexity of the world. Doclisboa offers a ground where cinema and the contemporary are investigated as acts of being together in, and with, time.

Sophia, na Primeira Pessoa

Manuel Mozos

2019 • Portugal • 56’

Resorting to the author’s personal assets, to current images of places where she lived or that she treasured, and to TV and film archive images; quoting her prose and poetry always with first hand testimonies; from Porto to Lisbon, from Granja to Lagos, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, from Greece to the 25th of April: the passions and disillusionments of a life and work dedicated to the quest for reality, freedom and justice.
