IndieLisboa 2019 international competition is closed. The section aims to screen the first, second and third films never before shown publicly in Portugal will feature a selection of 32 films that are a showcase for new names, ideas and artistic universes.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth highlighting the contamination of the international competition for short films with video game aesthetics, in a selection of films that bring the graphics, languages \u200b\u200band habits of the gamer community to the big screen. Whether it is the question of perspective and the look of one scene in\u00a0Fest<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Nikita Diakur); or we see ourselves in a post-apocalyptic New York in Operation Jane Walk<\/em><\/strong> (Robin Klengel and Leonhard M\u00fcllner); or the discovery of a new form of online harassment that has spread in online streaming, in Swatted<\/strong> <\/em>(Isma\u00ebl Joffroy Chandoutis).<\/p>\n And as in previous edition, the competition is also marked with some returns. Such as Emmanuel Marre (best fiction short film in 2017 with Le film de l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9<\/em>), with D\u2019un ch\u00e2teau l\u2019autre<\/em><\/strong>, a documentary about a young voter, undecided between Macron and Le Pen, which won the Golden Leopard in 2018; and Lawrence\u00a0Abu Hamdan (Rubber Coated Steel<\/em>, IndieLisboa 2017), who continues his investigation into the use of sound in a judicial context. In Walled Unwalled<\/strong><\/em>, a film where the walls serve as a pretext to discuss limits (of sound) between what is private and what is public. And it\u2019s also worth mentioning Sara Fgaier (editor, among others, of Pietro Marcello\u2019s La bocca del lupo<\/em>, IndieLisboa 2010), who works with archive images in The Years<\/em><\/strong>, to tell the story of a woman and her decades by the sea of Sardinia.<\/p>\n Je sors acheter des cigarettes<\/strong><\/em>, by Osman Cerfon Swatted<\/em><\/a>, <\/b> by Isma\u00ebl Joffroy Chandoutis Fest<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, by Nikita Diakur Turbine<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/b>Alex Boya Tombent les heures<\/em><\/a>, <\/b>by Blanca Camell Gali Foyers<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, by Paul Heintz Huile sur vent<\/em><\/a>,<\/b> by Alejandro Perez Take Me Please<\/a>, <\/em><\/strong>by Oliv\u00e9r Hegyi Guaxuma<\/em>,<\/b><\/a> by Nara Normande The Flood is Coming<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, by Gabriel B\u00f6hmer Les id\u00e9es s\u2019am\u00e9liorent<\/em><\/a>,<\/b> by L\u00e9o Richard Acid Rain<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, by Tomek Popakul Operation Jane Walk<\/strong><\/em>, by Robin Klengel Leonhard M\u00fcllner D\u2019un chateau l\u2019autre<\/em><\/a>,<\/b> by Emmanuel Marre Princesa Morta de Jacu\u00ed<\/strong><\/em>,<\/a> by Marcela Bordin Island Past Perfect<\/em>,<\/a> <\/b> by Jorge J\u00e1come Suc Syndria<\/strong><\/em>,<\/a> by Irene Moray Walled Unwalled<\/a><\/b>,<\/strong><\/em> by Lawrence Abu Hamdan I Got My Things And Left<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, <\/b>by Philbert Aim\u00e9 Mbabazi Sharangabo Lunar-Orbit Rendezvous<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, by M\u00e9lanie Charbonneau Tonnerre sur mer<\/a>,<\/b><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by Yotam Ben-David Les petites vacances<\/strong><\/em>, by Louise Groult De longs discours dans vos cheveux<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, by Alexandre Steiger The Years<\/strong><\/em>, by Sara Fgaier The Curse of the Phantom Tympanum<\/strong><\/em>, by Graeme Cole Duerrenwaid 8<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, by Kirsten Carina Gei\u00dfer and Ines Christine Gei\u00dfer A Million Years,<\/strong><\/em> by Danech San T<\/strong>he Girl With Two Heads<\/strong><\/em>, by Betzab\u00e9 Garcia (in the picture) The Sasha<\/strong><\/em>, by Mar\u00eda Molina Peir\u00f3International Short Film Competition<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\nA girl was about to leave but then the bus was gone and she stayed. In Tombent les heures,<\/em>\u00a0we wander around the city and get to know to people, love is spoken and chaabbi music is heard with a glass in hand, a smile on our face and a suitcase in the corner of the room.<\/p>\n
