From Freedom To Freedom

Inspired by the context set by the Covid-19 pandemic, and by the fact that we spent Portuguese Freedom day under a certain confinement, we wanted to find out perspectives on freedom that defy the dominant narratives. So, we challenged filmmakers to create shorts that reflected what freedom means to them today. From Freedom To Freedom is the film that collects the 10 perspectives. At a time when stories move us forward, these are reflections of the essential. Shorts Featured: Your Spaceship by Vasco Mendes, Tema Libre by Felipe Rios Fuentes, I Can't Help by Daniel Brereton, Nothing but the Mountains of the Past by João Diogo Marques, Un Pays Lointain by Vincent Moon and Priscilla Telmon, Some Kind of Connection by Sophy Romvari and Mike Thorn, a day in Bangkok by Nisha Jurairattanaporn, Desabitar by Diana Antunes, 2020 Chimaera by Miguel C.

Tema Libre

Santiago de Chile at the center of a pandemic. A couple spends 35 days locked up at home with too much time to think. There are times when the free subject is a problem and the limitations become a space of freedom.
