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.

Behind Our Eyes

Derrière nos yeux

Anton Bialas

2018 • France • 63’

A look into three lonesome characters (from old age to childhood) living non-conformist lives. Patrick lives outside, filling his eyes with sunlight so that once night falls he will have enough and just enough. Aliasare wanders between his blue room and the outside world, spending his days painting and filling the gap that separates him from the others. Hadrian is a young blind man running through a forest in search of a lost sensation.
