The 2023 edition of Cannes Film Festival will feature As Filhas do Fogo, a short film directed by Pedro Costa with performances by singers Elizabeth Pinard, Alice Costa and Karyna Gomes. The film results from the homonymous project that the filmmaker developed with the ensemble Os Músicos do Tejo, a show that was part of the 2021 Porto/Post/Doc program.
According to the artistic director of the festival, Thierry Frémaux, the film is “a beautiful, strong, intriguing, inventive work, at the same time classic and modern, moving, a collective elegy and a political act” (in Público newspaper).
