1. WORKSHOP WITH CATARINA MOURÃO
THE HOUSE AND THE WORLD
October 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th from 10h30 to 12h30
Casa Comum of Universidade do Porto
Synopsis: In this brief workshop we will travel between the hybrid borders of documentary and fiction, in the construction of a cinematographic object that puts the space of home and memory in dialogue with the outside world. From the analysis of some excerpts from the author’s films, the participants will develop their own film, always from a microcosm.
