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.
