Echoes of the Red One

A Vermelha/ The Red was Vila Franca de Xira, so named by PIDE, during the time of the Estado Novo. This film brings us echoes of a city that contained a multiplicity of places — whether private or institutional houses — used by the antifascist resistance of the era. These, and those responsible for them, are now revisited and interviewed.

Gaza My Love

The Nasser brothers’ second feature film takes place in contemporary Gaza. At 60, Issa is a curmudgeonly, but secretly charming, solitary fisherman. He is in love with Sihma, a woman who works at the market, but he doesn’t have the courage to tell her. Until the day he discovers a phallic statue of the god Apollo and his life changes. A film that combines absurd comedy, magical realism and the spirit of Italian neo-realism in a unique recipe.
