We took, as our starting point, the awareness that, although the studies with this kind of focus are scarce (and brief), centred primarily on the works of Pedro Costa and Manoel de Oliveira, the majority of Portuguese films have a strong connection with philosophical inquiry. This particular encounter is revealed in a unique aesthetic, but also in a complex network, determined by circumstances of the recent political, cultural and social history, which marked Portuguese cinema at a political, ethical, aesthetic and cultural level. With this issue, we aim at helping to fulfil this gap, contributing to the philosophical inquiry on Portuguese cinema, taken here in its broadest sense, i.e., including feature films, documentary films and trends in video art. We have tried to broaden the already established dialogue between filmmakers and philosophers, widening the scope of the aesthetic- philosophical analysis to meet the disciplinary intersection of historical, political and psychoanalytic readings, also crossing intermediatic approaches to the moving image that include such disparate creators as Paul Rocha, Miguel Gomes, Alberto Seixas Santos, António da Cunha Telles, Solveig Nordlund, José Álvaro Morais, Manuel Goncalo Mozos, opening the scope to other protagonists of the moving image in our country, such as Vasco Araújo, João Onofre or Filipa César. The section of original “Essays” opens with an article that reveals a deep knowledge of Portuguese cinema and of philosophical inquiry. In “The End of History Through the Disclosure of Fiction: Indisciplinarity in Miguel Gomes's Tabu (2012),” Carolin Overhoff Ferreira develops the potentiality of a new concept: the “indisciplinary film.” The author, inspired by the thought of Jacques Rancière, redefines this concept, proposing it as an alternative to the concept of “essay-film,” and argues that Gomes’ film “thinks Portugal’s colonial history between disciplines.” In “Thinking the Revolution in Alberto Seixas Santos’s Mild Manners and Gestures and Fragments,” Luís Trindade focuses on the historical turn of the Portuguese revolution of CINEMA 5 · EDITORIAL! 2 April, the 25th, 1974. The author examines the relationship between ideology that defines both the narratives and the very revolutionary process, through the presence and influence of three philosophers: Marx and Engels on Mild Manners (Brandos Costumes, 1974), and Eduardo Lourenço in Gestures and Fragments (Gestos e Fragmentos, 1982). The focus on the same historical epoch is shared by Érica Faleiro Rodrigues who, in “Between Narcissism and Repression: The Castration of Female Desire in Portuguese Film — Julia Kristeva and Abjection, the 1974 Revolution, The Siege and Dina and Django,” gives us a totally different approach, based in an original reading of the films The Siege (O Cerco, 1970) by António da Cunha Telles, and Dina and Django (Dina e Django, 1983) by Solveig Nordlund. Taking these two works as paradigms of a certain vision of the feminine at epochs as seemingly as diverse as the “before” and the “after” of the 25th April Portuguese revolution, the author highlights how, such supposedly so

  • HORSE MONEY a Film by Pedro Costa
    A CINEMA GUILD RELEASE HORSE MONEY A film by Pedro Costa 104 minutes / 2014 / 1.1:33 / HD / Not Rated In Portuguese with English Subtitles HORSE MONEY Synopsis Pedro Costa's latest film, a follow‐up to his renowned COLOSSAL YOUTH, follows Costa regular Ventura on an odyssey that is part horror film, part fever dream, and utterly unique. The time is now, a numbing and timeless present of hospital stays, bureaucratic questioning, and wandering through remembered spaces… and suddenly it is also then, the mid ’70s and the time of Portugal's Carnation Revolution, when Ventura got into a knife fight with his friend Joaquim. HORSE MONEY is a self‐reckoning, a moving memorialization of lives in danger of being forgotten, as well as a piercingly beautiful work of modern cinema. HORSE MONEY Pedro Costa Bio Born in Lisbon, Costa left his course of studies in History to attend classes taught by the poet and filmmaker Antonio Reis at the Lisbon Film School. His first film, O SANGUE (BLOOD), had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 1989. CASA DE LAVA, his second feature, shot in Cabo Verde, was shown in Cannes, Un Certain Regard, in 1994. His other features include BONES, IN VANDA’S ROOM, and COLLOSAL YOUTH (currently available in the US as a box set from the Criterion Collection), NE CHANGE RIEN, and WHERE DOES YOUR HIDDEN SMILE LIE?, a documentary on the work of Daniele Huillet and Jean‐Marie Straub. Recently he directed the SWEET EXORCIST, a segment of the omnibus feature CENTRO HISTORICO with Manoel de Oliveira, Aki Kaurismaki and Victor Erice.

RESUMO O caminho do cinema português – à procura da identidade nacional Case study - a guerra colonial por Sofia Briz Carvalho Com a sua forma poética e metafórica de ir fazendo a articulação entre o mundo real e o mundo da ficção, o cinema português tem vindo a ser reconhecido na cena cinematográfica internacional como um cinema de características bastante específicas, muitas vezes reflexo de uma procura do que é ser português, algo que no dizer do grande representante dessa arte, Manoel de Oliveira, está relacionado com uma grande universalidade do povo português. Esta universalidade tem raízes históricas, assim como a forma de se fazer cinema em Portugal é fruto de um percurso que pretendemos ilustrar com este trabalho. Como case study optámos pelo tema da guerra colonial, símbolo do fim do Império português, analisando três filmes que abordam esse tema, obras de três realizadores cujas obras cobrem a cinematografia portuguesa desde os anos 30 até à actualidade.

  • A Review of Horse Money [Cavalo Dinheiro], Directed by Pedro Costa (Portugal, 2014)
    A Review of Horse Money [Cavalo Dinheiro], directed by Pedro Costa (Portugal, 2014). Ivan Cerecina University of Sydney Even among the diverse field of entries at the 2015 Melbourne International Film Festival, Horse Money remained a unique propo- sition. Although director Pedro Costa has made no secret of his key influences over the years, Horse Money strikes one as a film that shows the director working through a very personal set of aesthetic and phil- osophical preoccupations.1 While those who have followed Costa’s filmography in recent years will note the many continuities between Horse Money and the Portuguese director’s previous films (both in terms of casting and the broad subjects his films tackle), Horse Money also signals a few key departures from the director’s previous work, testifying to the evolving nature of his artistic vision. Given Horse Money’s inventiveness, it is worth reflecting on Cos- ta’s career in order to better understand what is distinctive about this new work and the fresh challenges it poses to viewers familiar with the director’s oeuvre. Over the years, Costa’s craft has developed into its current, singular form through several incremental shifts in approach, Philament 22: Precarity philamentjournal.com 123 124 Philament 22: Precarity with each new film seeming to expand on a discovery made in the last. These discoveries have been technological — as when Costa embraced the switch from analogue to digital film in the early 2000s — as well as related to questions of aesthetics, attitude, and the approach subject matter. Often, as inIn Vanda’s Room (2000), Costa’s technological and aesthetic approaches have been closely interrelated; there, we saw the convergence of a more intimate attitude towards representing others that was made possible by the artisanal, low-budget production model of early digital filmmaking.2 It was before the 2000s, however, that Costa confirmed his cinephile credentials in his first two features,O Sangue (1989) and Casa de Lava (1995).

  • Strategies of Digital Surrealism in Contemporary Western Cinema by à 2018 Andrei Kartashov Bakalavr, Saint Petersburg State University, 2012
    Strategies of Digital Surrealism in Contemporary Western Cinema By ã 2018 Andrei Kartashov Bakalavr, Saint Petersburg State University, 2012 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Chair: Dr. Catherine Preston Dr. Ronald Wilson Margaret Jamieson Date Defended: 27 April 2018 ii The thesis committee for Andrei Kartashov certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Strategies of Digital Surrealism in Contemporary Western Cinema Chair: Dr. Catherine Preston Date Approved: 27 April 2018 iii Abstract This thesis joins an ongoing discussion of cinema’s identity in the digital age. The new technology, which by now has become standard for moving images of any kind, has put into question existing assumptions and created paradoxes from a continuity between two different media that are, however, thought of as one medium. I address that problem from the perspective of surrealist film theory, which insisted on paradoxes and saw cinema as an art form that necessarily operated on contradictions: a quality that resonated with surrealism’s general aesthetic theory. To support my argument, I then analyze in some depth three contemporary works of cinema that possess surrealist attributes and employed digital technology in their making in a self-conscious way. Leos Carax’s Holy Motors, Pedro Costa’s Horse Money, and Seances by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson all point to specific contradictions revealed by digital technology that they resolve, or hold in tension, in accordance with the surrealist notion of point sublime.
