IndieLisboa

The most recent premieres and news from national and international cinema are presented at the 21st edition of IndieLisboa. The festival starts with I’m Not Everything I Want to Be, a film about Libuše Jarcovjáková, the “Nan Goldin of Czechoslovakia”, and the suffocating environment experienced after the Prague Spring of 1968. The closing section presents Dream Scenario with which Kristoffer Borgli returns for a new black comedy accompanied by Nicholas Cage.

Also noteworthy is the new Rizhome section where works that highlight relevant current issues, renowned filmmakers and previews are displayed. The program for this section includes: All of Us Strangers, a queer novel by Andrew Haigh, which received six BAFTA nominations, and stars the acclaimed Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal; and The Beast (La Bête), by Bertrand Bonello, which combines romance and dystopia, and follows Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux), a woman who lives in a futuristic society that abhors emotions that exalt human beings.

The IndieJúnior program, in addition to the many films, organizes an outdoor party, in the gardens of Biblioteca Palácio Galveias (May 25), and the celebration of Children’s Day (June 1st) with various activities for families.
