The ICA has partnered with independent film production unit TERRATREME to celebrate innovative film production in Portugal.
Founded in 2008 by a group of young filmmakers, TERRATREME pools the resources of its collected members to bring engaging films to international audiences. For several years, the ICA has presented discussions and screenings devoted to TERRATREME’s work including Anteu (FRAMES of REPRESENTATION 2019), Ascension, Djon África and A Case Study: TERRATREME (all FRAMES of REPRESENTATION 2018), The Nothing Factory (distributed by ICA CINEMA) and Once There was Brasilia.
From May to December 2019, the ICA presents six recent releases from a selection of TERRATREME’s emerging filmmakers, each of whom will engage in audience discussion through Q&As at their opening screenings.
This season continues the ICA’s commitment to promoting independent and innovative filmmaking, providing a panoramic overview of contemporary Portuguese cinema while offering audiences an insight into the diverse forms of cinema produced by this unique production company.
