The strokes of painter João Ayres and the gestures guided by Pina Bausch. The activism of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton. Jazz, funk, Argentinian folklore, heavy metal and German protest songs. The fight in the voice of Fado Bicha or Brazilian artists in Quem tem Medo?. The memories inhabiting the Chelsea Hotel. The 40 years of Mata-Ratos and the work of Margot Dias. We question power with the Three Marias and enter Rui Reininho’s dreams. We move to another world with Lynch, Godard and Vladimir Léon. We focus on the work of Jamaican pioneer Perry Henzell, and on the friendship between Mathieu Amalric and John Zorn.

ZORN BY AMALRIC
Actor and director Mathieu Amalric met saxophone player and composer John Zorn 12 years ago. A friendship between the two arose in that first encounter, and Amalric has been filming Zorn ever since. Together, they create a declaration of endless friendship, which is here presented in three cinematic gestures, each following a given period of time. Three moments of developing music, a constellation of energies, an ever-expanding sound universe.
