The day begins in Lisbon, and people take to the streets. Martins, the barber who comes from Luanda, Simoes and his arrows, Manuel and his films as well as Francisco walled in his silence. What defines us, after all?

Jesus buys and sells little girls and hates himself for it. Frank abuses little boys even though they are his family; the judge tries to stop it all. We know who the culprits are; they are our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends, and yet it all remains a big secret (known by all).

October 5th - 16th 2012
We present film series focused on 16 different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
he "Pointing Out" programs promote new and strange views, new talents and complex visions from all over the world, treating provocant, sensible and urgent subjects in a innovative and personal style.
