SPAutores – Cinema Falado Award
For best film in Cinema Falado Competition
We leave you with the Jury’s words: And the award goes, unanimously, to Lucefece by Ricardo Leite for the extraordinary originality in his introspective journey that goes beyond, behind, above him. We were very excited by the chemical, almost alchemical, physical materiality of the film itself. And very moved by what he generously delivers through powerful hand-drawn images.

"Pedro makes the remains the narrative material. Where there were houses, schools, grocery stores, cafes, corners that each had as their own, all that was left was the wind moving through the abandoned land". (Valdemar Cruz)
