The Beach at Shortcutz Lisbon
The Beach from director Pedro Neves will be screened at Shortcutz Lisbon as a guest short film on October 6 at 9 PM.
In today's society we are bombarded daily with images of beautiful, young bodies. Older bodies are hidden and forgotten as if they were imbued with negativity. Admission is free. For more information here.
In this film we are confronted with these bodies, naked and happy, in the daily life of a beach in the Lisbon region. After all, aren't these bodies beautiful, cheerful, full of life? Why do we refuse to see ourselves in these bodies, if they are ultimately the testimony of a long and rich experience? In The Beach, the elderly return to active life, abandoning the spaces of suffering and loneliness, of contempt and disdain that they have sadly inhabited in contemporary societies. They have fun, play, swim, run. They become people again like everyone else.
