Solar and Curtas Vila do Conde are hosting an exhibition from Maryam Tafakory, with many of her film works. I tried to write about Maryam’s work for the leaflet: her mastery in speaking about national cinema, touch, violence, censorship, and the women’s place. Also in solar.curtas.pt

Today, Maryam Tafakory opens her exhibition at Solar and Curtas Vila do Conde. youtu.be/-qpVGg8JAX8?...

Writing for @publico.pt about the Portuguese release of On Falling, by @lauracarreira.bsky.social.

Nos primeiros 2 anos do Batalha, o Paulo Cunha e eu programamos a Seleção Nacional. O Batalha publica agora um livro que arquiva o trabalho que fizemos — tanto sobre o cinema português, a sua história e os seus fantasmas; como da proposta de curadoria, organizada em constelações.

Happy to collaborate in the book “Dive-In: Design In Projection”, with a text on the cinema of Teddy Williams — “Impasse and Indulgence in Eduardo Williams”, mostly drawing in Lauren Berlant theory, and her concept of impasse. Thanks to Joana Rafael & Patricia Sequeira Bras (editors).

X-Novo is a new film program at Batalha Centro de Cinema, in Porto. I was fortunate to curate it with such good programmers: Delphine Jeanneret, Adam Piron, Jacqueline Nsiah and the artistic team of Batalha, Guilherme Blanc, Lídia Queirós and Justin Jaeckle.
