The program From Shorts to Features allows an opportunity to watch several feature films by authors who have passed through Curtas, presenting their new projects in national previews.
[DCL] From Shorts to Features, section of the festival dedicated to feature films, in which national premiere works by renowned authors are presented, whose relationship with Curtas in previous editions is the common denominator.
This work of monitoring the career and evolution (from short to feature film) intends to maintain the relationship between the author, the festival and the public. The presentation of these films guarantees visibility to authors who are pursuing their careers, in a format with greater visibility and commercial potential.
Curtas will continue to pursue originality in the presentation of films in this section. To this end, permanent contact is made with directors, producers and distributors. Naturally, and since the feature film is the subject of commercial debut in most cases, contact with national distributors will be the subject of special attention.
In th 2022 edition we watched "Ahed's Knee", the latest film by Nadav Lapid, featured author in the 2018 edition and with several passages through the festival. From another author that Curtas has followed closely, and who was one of the highlights in 2016 (together with João Rui Guerra da Mata), João Pedro Rodrigues, we also saw " Will-o’-the-Wisp ", his most recent film, recently screened at the Cannes festival.
From Brazilian director Anna Azevedo, who has already participated in Curtas with her short film "Geral" (2010), comes "Saudade do Futuro", her first solo feature film, a film that travels through three countries connected by sea and culture.
