Será que adivinham de que gato estamos a falar? Abrimos o mês à conversa com o realizador Joaquim Sapinho sobre o filme ALICE IN WONDERLAND, que estreou em Portugal com o título ALICE NO PAÍS DAS FADAS, porque terá sido esta Alice, “filha” N de Lewis Carroll e dos estúdios da Disney, a alimentar a fantasia desvairada de muitas infâncias desde os anos cinquenta, incluindo a do próprio realizador. Voltamos à Alice no último sábado de novembro, desta vez a ALICE NO PAÍS DAS MARAVILHAS de carne e osso de Tim Burton. No dia 9 vamos ver O SONHO DE WADJDA, a primeira longa-metragem da primeira realizadora saudita, Haifaa al-Mansour. Wadjda tem um sonho muito simples – ter uma bicicleta e andar nela –, mas na Arábia Saudita esse sonho simples não é para mulheres..., mas talvez seja para Wadjda. Já Zazie, a miúda explosiva do filme de Louis Malle, ZAZIE NO METRO, instala o caos à sua volta só para andar de metro, fazendo jus ao seu criador, o poeta do absurdo Raymond Queneau. Apresentadas as três mulheres, vamos ao gato. Trata-se do maravilhoso, fantástico e inolvidável Gato Félix, que nos visita na sua encarnação mais primitiva, mudo e a preto e branco, ao som do piano de Charlie Mancini.

    SINE, CINEMA DAS FILIPINAS – NOS CEM ANOS DO CINEMA FILIPINO – NOVEMBRO 2019 [1] o longo dos anos, a Cinemateca tem organizado ciclos consagrados a profusão. Mas esta idade de ouro chega ao fim, bruscamente, nos finais da década de 50, e a cinematografias nacionais, muitas delas pouco conhecidas além das suas indústria cinematográfica entra em terreno incerto. A produção diminui e os filmes filipinos fronteiras, como aconteceu recentemente com a grega e a suíça, além, deixam de circular nos festivais internacionais. Este marasmo relativo estende ‑se por mais naturalmente, de diversas cinematografias não europeias. A Índia, a China, de dez anos. Paradoxalmente, o período em que o país está sob a lei marcial, que vai de 1971 o Brasil, o México, o Egito ou a África negra, para citar apenas alguns a 1983, assinala uma segunda idade de ouro do cinema filipino.
