Loquats Poem
![]() |
| Country: Portugal Year: 2022 Duration: 3 mins. |
| Sinopsys: Every night I waited for her. I was sure that she would sit next to me, on the bed, and tell me the usual story: “Once upon a time there was a loquat, who was sitting still, watching what was happening. An old woman came and bam! She ate it! That's what happens to loquats who are sitting, standing, watching what happens.”
Perhaps because of its length, Mário-Henrique Leiria's poem was my mom's favorite. I already knew the story by heart, but I waited every night for the chance to hear it again.
If the old woman ate the loquat it meant that my mother was there with me, on the other side of the bed.

ansia
![]() |
| Country: Germany, Switzerland Year: 2022 Duration: 1 mins. |
| Sinopsys: The Portuguese word "ânsia" can be used to describe anxiousness and restlessness, as well as an intense longing or craving. With this stop motion animation, André Correia tries to evoque this familiar feeling, which seems to crawl all over the body from within. The film plays with familiar fears and motives, in order to recreate a sensation of discomfort. Weronika Malinowska's visceral soundscape elevates the images to another level of uneasiness. |
