October 27 – monday
10 years of Apordoc
The state of Portuguese documentaries
Apordoc was officially founded
as an association on the 15th of July 1998 with the goal of contributing
to the development of a culture of documental cinema. To commemorate
the association’s 10th anniversary, and as a conclusion
to this edition of doclisboa, the festival will present several
events on the state of Portuguese documentaries.
By tracing a review of its activity, it is first necessary to
question the state of health of Portuguese documentary. What
has changed in ten years? What were the founder’s dreams
and those who supported it? What is today’s reality?

Movement. The fulfilment of an empty space, the depuration
that finds the essence of a body, an entire body. Director Pedro Sena Nunes
decided to look, listen and participate in a fascinating process of artistic
creation that is confined to the desire of turning a body that carries a deficiency
into one that carries challenges among other bodies. “I focused my glance
on the essence of communicability through image and movement. I heard bodies
of several deficiency carriers: choreographers, musicians, stage directors
and actors. And I filmed all the others with a devoted articulation. In a moment
of life, I found out that dreams are impossible.”

Something (Era Preciso Fazer as Coisas)
Margarida Cardoso
55’ Portugal
A few days in autumn during the rehearsals for
Uncle Vanya by Chekhov. The actors and director are looking for a way to build
something in common. Their inner voices and their doubts intermingle with those
of the characters they are trying to put on stage. A house, a time, age and
frustration. Aren’t we all looking for some meaning?

Joana Cunha Ferreira
50’ Portugal
Joana Vasconcelos is one of the most famous and recognized
Portuguese artists of her generation. She has an impressive national and international
career at her age, and her works are usually pointed out for its kitsch and
garish dimension. Loved by some and hated by others, her work is as much renowned
as herself. For almost a year, director Joana Cunha Ferreira depicted the life
of one of her most iconic pieces, “Dorothy”, a giant shoe built
with hundreds of lid pots. The film is a close insight of the artist and her
team’s work, but mainly a portrait of Joana Vasconcelos, her strength,
will and dedication to work.
