In the 24th Cami­nhos do Cine­ma Por­tu­guês edi­ti­on, the sche­du­le of World Cami­nhossec­ti­on intends to pre­sent to the spec­ta­tors, through movi­es ori­gi­na­tes from the dis­tinct con­ti­nents, the idea of a world that is very cri­tic about itself and incre­a­sin­gly more open to diver­sity, with cha­rac­ters in a cons­tant self-dis­co­very process.

Betwe­en repu­ted and anony­mous artists, revo­lu­ti­ons or tri­bu­tes to tho­se of for­mer times, this selec­ti­on shows that cine­ma con­ti­nu­es to be a power­ful mean of dif­fu­si­on and deba­te of ide­as. Whi­le dys­to­pi­as hyper­bo­li­ze a deter­mi­ned nega­ti­ve aspect pre­sent in soci­ety, beco­ming, the­re­fo­re, an even more power­ful poli­ti­cal mes­sa­ge, the­re are movi­es whi­ch do not need to go far from our rea­lity, occa­si­o­nally fic­ti­o­na­li­zed, to pass along their mes­sa­ge. In this movi­es col­lec­ti­on the­re is even spa­ce to reflect about the human rela­ti­on with the unk­nown and super­na­tu­ral, in sto­ri­es that acqui­re a fairly strong ale­go­ric spin.

After deli­be­ra­ti­on over many hours of film, the main goal was to find fea­tu­re films that could dia­log, at the for­mat or the­me levels, with this dia­lo­gue and dif­fe­ren­ti­a­ted aesthe­tic on the short film for­mat. In the des­cri­bed path, the movi­es intertwi­ned, tou­ched and defi­ed them­sel­ves in a set that was either uni­form in the for­mat and vari­ed in the the­mes or simi­lar in con­tent but dis­tinct in their for­mal outlines.

World Cami­nhos is a sec­ti­on who aims to over­co­methe poli­ti­cally cor­rect bar­ri­ers and explo­re the cha­rac­ters’ sexu­a­lity, along with love demons­tra­ti­ons that do not see bor­ders nor res­trict them­sel­ves to labels.
