ALI, AQUI, a film produced within the framework of the community cinema project ATLAS ALMADA, arrives in Portuguese cinemas on May 28.
ATLAS ALMADA is an artistic and educational project that combines film education with the making of a film about a specific territory — Monte da Caparica.
We began with questions: Which places do we want to portray? What is important to show? Which stories do we want to tell? From the very first session, seeds were planted. Session by session, exercise by exercise, we gradually created a map of the Monte da Caparica neighbourhood, made up of places, events and characters. We collected stories and explored how they intersected with the history of the neighbourhood and the history of the country, while noting the questions we wanted the film to reflect upon.
In cinemas on May 28.
