The Kitchen

The Angolan Civil War still casts its shadow across the life of a young widow. The camera wanders through the rooms in her house, recording everyday objects and activities, while she describes how the war entered the family in a poetic monologue.

Enóquio: Que Não Tinha Coração

Lucia In The Sky With Traffic Lights

A being that has only bodily existence, an object used to satisfy needs and desires. On the screen, Lúcia preserves only a distant look that hides screams, fears and explosions. She is always ostracized and silenced by the sexist society that at no time considers her opinion and desires. Lucia is the woman's silent report associated with a role or function without the right to be, to think or to express opinions.

Concrete Affection – Zopo Lady

Luanda, Angola. The streets are deserted, the buildings empty and no ships leave the harbour. What's left are ghosts and memories. Concrete Affection – Zopo Lady is inspired by journalist Ryszard Kapuściński's descriptions of the last colonial days in Angola in 1976 and the exodus of Portuguese and white Angolans from Luanda.

We Shall Return

Angola's complex history seen through the eyes of a fake taxidermy sable antelope. She takes us on a journey that links colonial ideas from the past with contemporary reality. This short contemplation on the conservation of memory is a brilliant mix between static painted, staged histories, and a physical parade through the streets.
