13 Alfinetes

Commissioned by BoCA, “13 Alfinetes” is the new film by João Pedro Rodrigues and João Rui Guerra da Mata, a work of fiction that blends devotion, desire and spectres. Drawing inspiration from a miracle attributed to Santo António and filtered through the restless gaze of the two directors, the film draws on this legend to construct a contemporary tale of faith, revenge and disillusionment.

With No Before and After

A film installation by João Pedro Rodrigues and João Rui Guerra da Mata, which calls on the past to question the present. Drawing on their film “Where Is the Street? or “With No Before and After”, which they shot in 16 mm in the middle of the pandemic, the two filmmakers now present an installation establishing a dialogue with the film “Os Verdes Anos” (1963), the debut feature by Paulo Rocha that founded the New Portuguese Cinema movement.
