Bye Bye c’est Fini

Bye Bye c’est Fini

 


Tora Mårtens

2009 / Digi Beta / 0:14:00

Who says the fun stops just because you get older? Not 73-year-old Lina Merceis, who leisurely strolls the beaches of Rio De Janeiro by day and entertains scores of young lovers by night. Unrestricted by the tradition of monogamous relationships or marriage, Lina’s carefree lifestyle disproves preconceptions on aging.

A Casa dos mortos

 

 


Debora Diniz
Brazil
2009 / DV / 0:24:00

Bubú is a poet who has suffered twelve internments in secure mental hospitals. In the documentary, we can see three stories which become three acts of death. Jaime, Antonio and Almerindo are anonymous men but are considered to be dangerous to society. Their punishment will be the tragedy of suicide, the interminable cycle of internments or survival in perpetual prison in the “houses of the dead”

March 29th - April 11th 2010

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
