Charlie Shackleton is an accomplished storyteller who has explored the limits of the film-essay genre, transforming formal experimentation and archive material, whether films or memories, into a reflection on cinema itself, but also on being human. This conversation proposes an analysis of his work, placing it in dialogue with the current state of film criticism, where traditional writing persists, side by side with more dynamic and ephemeral formats. How does thinking about cinema change in a fast-paced consumer ecosystem? What room is left for analytical depth in the age of viralisation?
Special Guest: Charlie Shackleton (Focus IndieLisboa 2025), moderation: Ana Cabral Martins, with the participation of Rui Alves de Sousa
