IndieLisboa is a wonderful opportunity to discover both new filmmakers and the trends taking place in world cinema. In keeping with its focus on creativity and authorial independence, this international festival of independent cinema has established a rising reputation over its five years of existence and become one of the most important cinema festivals held in Portugal.

The IndieLisboa program at the Museu do Oriente includes films from various segments of the festival (International Competition, Observatory, Emerging Cinema, The Pulse of the World, IndieMusic, the Director’s Cut) and also stages two film-concerts integrated into IndieJúnio. Some of the films are shown in the presence of their directors with a public discussion taking place at the end.

26 April 16.00 M/6 Duration: 50 minutes, no intermission Sherlock Jr. (film-concert) Authors: Buster Keaton + antoniopedro + Filipe Rocha

 

Victim of the villain that strips him of his reputation and, worse, his girlfriend, Buster the projectionist returns to his cinema and... falls asleep. He then dreams he enters into the film and that Sherlock Jr., the greatest detective of all time, who, after various chase scenes (including the most highly dangerous game of booby trapped snooker!), captures and unmasks the villain.

The soundtrack is played live by an improbable jazz trio: with a piano but without a pianist. Theoretically reduced to the skeleton bass-drum of a rhythmic section, the duo double up throughout a frantic race (similar to that taking place on the screen) between various instruments so as to provide a musical backdrop to one of the most genial films of Buster Keaton.

Music:

antoniopedro – composition, drums, piano, voice, melodies, percussion, effects

Filipe Rocha – composition, double bass, electric bass, piano, effects

16.00 Over 4s Duration: 50 minutes, no intermission Matinée Remix (film-concert) Authors: Fyodor Khitruk+antoniopedro+Ana Araújo]

 

antoniopedro and Ana Araújo composed a new soundtrack to provide a live accompaniment to the films of Fyodor Khitruk, arguably the most important and influential Russian animated filmmaker. This is a type of false trio where the third member is the screen and everything that takes place on it. The project merges the most rigorous of preparations along with improvisation, ensuring that each performance is unique. Beyond the music, special attention is paid to the sound engineering, also recreated live. The films are also narrated live and in Portuguese.

Award winning around the world, Khitruk impacted on cinema out of the strength of his films, the beauty of their images and the capacity to provide lucid criticism in a political system then shorn of such democratic liberties. This matinée remix includes his first film, Story of a Crime, a visual satire that resonates with modern times and the stresses and strains of life in the major cities; The Holidays of Bonifácio, on the touching holidays of a circus lion off to Africa to visit his grandmother; and The Island, a fresh sociological perspective on the current world ending on a final note of hope and optimism.
