Cinzas e nuvens

From the top of a tower, Dina, Maria, Inês and others watch over the Portuguese countryside to prevent wildfires. CINZAS E NUVENS is a poetic description of this labour of love for the land deeply rooted in the senses, above all sight, and is hence deeply cinematic. Inspired by the tower’s architecture, the film is concerned with the notion of distance, depicting the surroundings and the women by alternating between various focal lengths. Displaying a kind of serene urgency, CINZAS E NUVENS stands gracefully at the rare intersection of landscape film, ecological documentary and artisanal experimental piece. (Salvador Amores)

This film will be shown as part of the screening SHORT FILM PROGRAM 3: PRESENCES.
