Directing
“A struggle. A glance inward reveals another world, a mutable world. I only exist within myself.” - Film made during the free workshop "A Nebulosa" in Porto, Portugal. With 122 meters of 16mm Film.
In an ominous Lisbon courtyard where the last executioner of the kingdom once lived, an accident is waiting to happen. After a patient game of who's observing who, four characters will collide with dire consequences. Inspired by the novel The Damned Yard by Nobel Prize-winning Bosnian writer Ivo Andrić, this is a masterclass in slow cinema, a pure 16mm cinematic pleasure by André Gil Mata.
