In Alice's Land (2021) - 103´
In Alice's Land was the way I found to take my daughter to get to know a little of our common shared country. Short-lived encounters, friends, landscapes, rituals, in a crossing of roads guided by the whims of chance and improvisation, but also by the planning of thoughtful and desired meetings. A family film, certainly, a contemporary look at today's Portugal as well. An abrupt interruption forces us to return home and remain there waiting for better days.

How many flamingos does it take to throw a party? proposes a colorful party in the Public Space. Between Circus and Physical Theater, between Ballet and Synchronized Swimming. A show for the whole family, with a paraphernalia of colors and fun, where everyone is invited to dance.


RUI SIMÕES, Portuguese filmmaker, author of the iconic documentaries of the post-revolutionary period: God, Homeland, Authority and Good Portuguese People. In 1986, he founded the film production company Real Ficção through which he has been developing his work as a documentarian deeply connected to social themes and the arts - recordings of theatre and dance - as well as supporting numerous young filmmakers concerned with the social injustice faced by disadvantaged or marginalized groups. In Alice's Land is his 13th feature documentary. In 2024, he received the Sophia Career Award, granted by the Portuguese Cinema Academy.

 

 

 

 

CORAÇÃO NAS MÃOS is an artistic-cultural association for the creation, dissemination, and enjoyment of circus and dance and its intersection with other arts. Since 2016, they have been creating and sharing multi and transdisciplinary performances as well as  workshops. In 2022, the performance Five O'clock Tea was awarded the Best Street Performance Prize at the 25th edition of the Castilla Y Leon Theatre Fair in Spain.
