Director: Vier Nev

Synopsis: Anthology of interactive stories in Virtual Reality, where the exploration of dreams is used to address different facets of the human experience. The viewer embodies the different protagonists of each episode, interacting and flying through dreamlike universes. In the first episode ‘Lúcido’, the viewer embodies Gil. After waking up from a nightmare, Gil discovers that he can learn to control his dreams with his boyfriend’s guidance.

Film: Valéria (Animated series)
Director: Mariana Fonseca e Susana Miguel António
Production: COLA Animation, CRL
Synopsis: Nobody knows where this chicken came from. Only that she came on a motorbike, of it’s own choosing, and arrived at just the right time to bring light to this family. The family takes Valéria in temporarily, but the bonds grow closer until there is no distinction between the family and the hen. Valéria is so special that we can’t help but see ourselves reflected in her. Especially her, who hates mirrors. An amusing compliment to Love, to a Lisbon that reflects today’s world and to the different ways of living.
Film: 7 Senhoras (Short film)
Director: Margarida Madeira
