Echoing the strategies Costa used in Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie?, this rare personal portrait of the filmmaker follows him during the production of Colossal Youth, visiting the Fontainhas neighborhood where his trilogy takes place, and spends hours in the editing room while expounding his views on the current state of cinema.
Screening with:
Our Man / O Nosso Homem
Pedro Costa, Portugal, 2010, digital projection, 21m
Portuguese with English subtitles
For the last of the three shorts he made as appendices to Colossal Youth, Costa sculpted scenes and plot strands from his previous two shorts (The Rabbit Hunters and Tarrafal) into a startling new shape.
