Histories of Smugglers

Tourém is a frontier village on the border between Portugal and Spain. It has a reputation as a “smugglers’ nest”, with many villagers involved in the business, in the past. They smuggled goods due to shortages at the time. They risked their lives for a living.

So small, looking all grown up

This film combines fictional and documentary treatment and uses photographic archives, real images and the oral testimony of women from the regions of Trás-os-Montes, Beira, Alto and Baixo Minho who, between the 1940s and 1980s, came to Porto to work as domestic servants.

I Have Never Been this Close

In a rural periphery amid transformation, agricultural machines devastate the fields and the places are haunted by an eternal gloom. Out of the flames, the bells are reborn, invoking the presence of the community.

Nocturne for a forest

In the 15th century, in Portugal, a group of monks built a wall around a forest and prevented the entry of women. But the hands of the living cannot control everything: in the invisible world, where night reigns and only souls light up the forest, women have built their kingdom of invisibility, without walls.
