CALLING CABRAL ("MEMÓRIA")

Short film

Kussa Productions

A film by Welket Bungué & Duarte Lima

18', stereo, col, Portugal, 2022

'Calling Cabral' is shaped by Guinean mysticism, the poetics of simultaneity, and the voice of resistance and reflection in Amílcar Cabral. Between the hustle and bustle of a New Year's Eve spent in the Bijagó Islands, and the discovery of a feeling that is renewed with the reunion of people and places, 'Calling Cabral' penetrates the layers of language and behaviour to celebrate the historical and intergenerational complexity that inhabits Guinea-Bissau.

UPHEAVEL (MUDANÇA)

Short film

Directed by Welket Bungué

27', stereo, col, Portugal, 2021

It's essential to generate life, dialogue, understanding, and celebrate humanity. In times of widespread pandemic, raising questions about the preservation of democracy, the integrity of public health and our own notions of individuality, we are dragged into a process of change. 'Upheaval' is a meeting between the artist Welket Bungué, and the parliamentary politician Joacine Katar Moreira. Here, they question the essence of their crafts, making an unexpected paradigm of imminent revolution resound.

DAMNED SUMMER

(VERÃO DANADO)

Feature Length Film

Directed by Pedro Cabeleira

128', 5.1, col, Portugal, 2017

The summer of Chico starts at home, with his grandparents, under the cover of the lemon trees. An outlet. The ground of his childhood memories. But now, he belongs to Lisbon, where he graduated and where he hopes to find a career. Chico is part of a generation without prospects and expectations, in which reaching adulthood seems to be perpetually delayed. The nights of Lisbon, intoxicated by its affections and heartbreaks, hold him into a psychedelic hedonism, where burning anguish fuels into euphoria.

A RAINHA

Short film

Directed by Lúcia Pires
