Joaquim Pinto has been living with HIV and VHC for almost twenty years. “What now? Remind Me” is the notebook of a year of clinical studies with toxic, mind altering drugs as yet unapproved. An open and eclectic reflection on time and memory, on epidemics and globalization, on survival beyond all expectations, on dissent and absolute love. In a to-and-fro between present and past memories, the film is also a tribute to friends departed and those who remain. close

Brazilian writer. Jose Costa, like many writers, has a literary slave. Jose returns from a conference of the same writers, the plane lands in Budapest. Here Jose meets Christa, and this acquaintance has a strong influence on his future fate.
This is not the first time Budapest has raised the issue of the complex, hostile relationship between a writer and an author working for him. For example, a similar theme has already been convincingly played out in "Rail Novel" Claude Lelouch. But Budapest takes a slightly different approach to the problem, looking at it from a different point of view.
The role of the main character went to actor Leonardo Medeiros. In his performance, Jose Costa turned out to be a character full of contradictions and arrogance, not noticed by anyone, but at the same time feeling his superiority. close

Jorge de Sena was forced to leave his country. First he moved to Brazil, and later to the USA. He never returned to Portugal. During his 20-year-long exile, he kept an epistolary correspondence with Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. These letters are a testimony of the profound friendship between the two poets, letters of longing and of desire to “fill years of distance with hours of conversation”. Through excerpts and verses, a dialog is established, revealing their divergent opinions but mostly their strong bond, and their efforts to preserve it until their last breaths. close

This three part French TV serial for children (alternate versions exist as a feature, Manoel’s Destinies, and a 4 part Portuguese TV serial, Adventure in Madeira) is the favourite of many devotees of Raúl Ruiz. This is because it ties the enchantment and mystery of Lewis Carroll, Carlo Collodi and the Brothers Grimm to the filmmaker’s experiments with narrative strategies and what he calls the pentaludic model of storytelling (where characters are thrown dice-like into combinations and situations governed by the play of Chance and Destiny). close
