48º Festival
CINANIMA Invites

On 13 November, the Porto Embassy will host animation director Daria Kashcheeva for a talk about the behind-the-scenes of her film ‘Electra’. There will be a welcome drink with the support of Poças.
This session is part of the CINANIMA Invites initiative, which aims to bring world-renowned animation filmmakers closer to the general public.

Electra rethinks her 10th birthday, mixing memories with imagination and hidden dreams. Isolated in her fantasy world full of made-up busty dolls, plastic men’s body parts, juicy strawberries and dentist tools, she builds up her own relationships with her body and sexuality. Diving deeper and deeper to her childhood memories, she experiences again rebelling against her mother and mixed feelings for her father. Electra has to go through the most painful memories to let her suppressed feelings come out. After all, she is ready to reveal what has really happened during her 10th birthday.
