OT: Ovnis, Monstros e Utopias - Tres Curtas Queer

Three Portuguese queer short films brought together in a programme that charts an alternative path through converging universes, forming a new constellation of desires, fears, and struggles. Entre a Luz e o Nada (Between Light and Nowhere) by Joana de Sousa, Sob Influência (Under the Influence) by Ricardo Branco, and Uma Rapariga Imaterial (Immaterial Girl) by André Godinho are three cinematic gestures that explore techniques and narratives from science fiction to horror, seeking new ways to view and imagine other possibilities. After traveling through various festivals, these films can now be experienced together, in a mutual exploration of mysterious worlds, unsettling dreams, and singular visions.
