Projects presented
The Difference a Day Makes
Vicente Gil and Salvador Gil
PRT · FIC · 15 min (expected film duration)
Expected delivery: November 2026
A mother gets up early to begin another day. But the money she was expecting has not arrived in her account. Over the course of a morning, an afternoon and a night, she crosses the city in search of a way to buy food for her children. Between requests for help, indifference and small acts of solidarity, the film follows the urgency of a day that reveals the repetition of poverty.
looking for: Programmers, sales agents and distributors for the international premiere and circulation; feedback on the film’s positioning, audiences and exhibition beyond the festival circuit.
Half Tone
Maria Moreira
PRT · DOC, FIC · 17 min (expected film duration)
Expected delivery: November 2026
In a game of whispers, Maria cannot understand the message passed to her and invents a reply. In 2025, she returns to this memory to investigate the unilateral sensorineural hearing loss diagnosed when she was seven. Through recollections and encounters with people who share similar experiences, the film explores identity, communication and belonging in a predominantly hearing world.
looking for: Sound and image finishing support, a world-premiere strategy, an international sales agent and distributors; programmers’ feedback on the final cut and circulation.
Auras. Visions of Blindness
Nela Fraga
ESP · EXP · 14 min (expected film duration)
Expected delivery: October 2026
Shot on 16 mm in the landscapes of Galicia, Auras seeks to reproduce the temporary visual disturbances experienced by people with aura. Archival fragments, including microscopic footage, are superimposed on the images. Sound and music bring viewers closer to this sensory experience, in a cinematic investigation that seeks to make a little-understood condition more visible.
looking for: An international premiere and distribution partners; funding and new contacts to develop a film performance and exhibition based on the film.
