PROGRAM

12TH INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL
PROGRAM
Here, in Lisbon
The cosmopolitan and globalised dimension of an international film festival must never do away with the particular
character of the place where it is held, at the risk of becoming undifferentiated, one event among many other
similar ones. Ever since its first edition, IndieLisboa has
tried to be both local and universal. Conceived bearing
in mind the specific features of the city and country
where it takes place, it has also sought to develop its
own personal approach to world contemporary cinema.
Although coming into dialogue with other national and
foreign views equally informed by a concern with current
cinema – one that does not limit itself to the repetition of
formulae or empty and inconsequent novelty -, it does
not wish to be confused with any of these.
Once again, this distinct view runs through the entire
programme of our 12th edition and, particularly, a very
special moment of this year’s festival. Resulting from a
commission made at IndieLisboa’s 10th anniversary to
four “very IndieLisboa” filmmakers (Denis Côté, Dominga
Sotomayor, Gabriel Abrantes and Marie Losier), we will
finally be able to present here, in Lisbon, the film with the
same title, which is the outcome of a long and difficult
production process, IndieLisboa – Associação Cultural’s
first adventure in cinema production. Similarly to what
happens to put each new festival edition on its feet, our
financial constraints were only overcome with the commitment and generosity of all those who contributed,
both within and outside IndieLisboa. While the support
from the Municipality of Lisbon was decisive for getting
the film started and that of NOS for bringing it to an end,
the individual contributions of dozens of technicians,
actors and other people who helped this project see
the light of day were no less important. We are proud
and happy that we will now be able to share this work
with all those who took part in it, as well as Portuguese
cinemagoers and, soon, a wider international audience.
Telling four stories happening in Lisbon as different as
their four authors, Here, in Lisbon reflects well what we
want for this IndieLisboa edition: to tirelessly reinvent
cinema as an idea and a language.
Likewise, a festival must continually rethink its programming model, sections, parallel activities, etc. Therefore,
some of the changes in this 12th IndieLisboa edition
spring from our need to make our programming proposals better reach their potential audience and bring
the different sections into dialogue. The main change
in the festival structure is the creation of the Silvestre
section, as a consequence of the extinction of three former distinct sections (Observatory, Emerging Cinema
and World Pulse). With the aim of abolishing artificial
borders between film genres and generations of filmmakers, which marked the previous design of the festival,
Silvestre will be the freest and most inventive section
of IndieLisboa, justifying the Monteirean inspiration of
its name. At its debut, Silvestre will include a focus on
one filmmaker, presenting the first complete retrospective of the irreverent, uncomfortable and prolific oeuvre
of the young German filmmaker Jan Soldat, undoubtedly someone whose work we will continue following
in the next years.
Another important change brought by this edition is the
newly and completely autonomous National Competition.
Up until now, Portuguese features and shorts in competition were spread through the several sections of the
festival. From this year on, the National Competition is
an independent section with a jury of its own (which also
votes for the section Brand-New, dedicated to emerging
Portuguese filmmakers). In this way, we wish to highlight the National Competition in the festival as a whole,
making it more visible both for national audiences and
foreign professionals who attend the festival and thus
can more easily know what is new in Portuguese cinema
(nearly all the films presented in this year’s National
Competition are absolute premieres).
The last novelty in IndieLisboa 2015’s programme is the
creation of a section especially thought for the midnight screenings, called Mouth of Hell and not advised for
more sensitive souls. Not wanting to say too much, we
think it will be worthwhile dropping by and experiencing more bizarre, extreme or simply disquieting films,
some of which will become future cult films.
The remaining festival programme is in line with the
previous editions, distributed between the International
Competition (this year broadened to third works),
IndieJunior, IndieMusic, Director’s Cut, Independent Hero
and Special Screenings. Within the Independent Hero,
we pay tribute to two exciting filmmakers with markedly
authorial worlds who have sought to renew the tradition
of resolutely meandering narratives: the French filmmaker Mia Hansen-Love and the North American Whit
Stillman. We will present the complete retrospectives
of their work - in Stillman’s case, this will also be the
opportunity to discover him as none of his films have
ever been screened in Portugal.
Another way of IndieLisboa reinventing itself is precisely
by not sitting back and seeking to move out of the cinemas where the festival usually takes place, with a view
to creating cinemagoers in places that are less connoted
with film screenings (this year we applaud the entry of
Cinema Ideal, which joins Culturgest, Cinema São Jorge
and Cinemateca Portuguesa-Museu do Cinema). Within
the Special Screenings, besides the usual importance
awarded to Portuguese cinema, there are also more
unique and “outside-the-format” events, such as the
concert preceding the screening of Around the World
in 50 Concerts, organised in collaboration with the festival Os Dias da Música (which this year will focus on
film music and will also take IndieJunior to CCB), or
the presentation of the essential Concerning Violence
in a screening followed by a discussion to be held at
Aula Magna, in a partnership with the Rectory of the
University of Lisbon.
To close off, we would like to express our deep gratitude to our partners and sponsors. First of all, we would
like to thank the vital collaboration of our two co-producers (Culturgest and EGEAC). ICA, the Municipality
of Lisbon and the MEDIA programme for their renewed
support, which works as the structural basis of the festival. Allianz, for having strengthened its investment as
main sponsor of IndieLisboa, after an experiment in 2014
that proved to be mutually enriching. Finally, we would
like to thank our various institutional and private partners, which would be impossible to name individually
in this text. The sum total of this support, partnerships
and collaborations allowed us to make this edition the
faithful mirror of our dreams and ambitions. We hope
you enjoy IndieLisboa 2015.

Silvestre
Just as Silvestre, a 1982 film by João César Monteiro, the films in this new section
will not be afraid to follow unexpected paths, refuse impositions or seek alternative
routes, even if they can become a little more wild or dangerous. By fusing previous
Observatory, Emerging Cinema and World Pulse sections, the Silvestre section of
the festival will gather works both from young filmmakers and established authors,
with films only bound by their uniqueness. In focus, a young author worth discovering: Jan Soldat.

Independent Hero
Mia Hansen-Løve
Mia Hansen-Løve once said she had decided to start filming because she felt unhappy. However, it is not sadness that dominates her work, not even pessimism that
drives her characters. On the contrary, the French director's films are touched, in
equal measure, by light and shadow, by moments of great passion and melancholy.
In other words, they are warm, true and profound portraits of people who seek to
find a path and a place for their feelings.

Independent Hero
Whit Stillman
Whit Stillman is as a father figure for the present generation of North-American
filmmakers: Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, Greta Gerwig, or even Lena Dunham
(television is now a territory where Stillman begins to venture). These are early adulthood portraits usually belonging to the high New York bourgeoisie (or what remains
of it), diving in pleasure games, decoding explicit and repressed sexual desires and
criticising not only a social status assessed by language and appearance but a constant lure of deception.
