Sieranevada will open the series of screenings at the House of Films on Friday, 9 September, from 18.00.
The programme for Saturday, 10 September, will start at 16.00 with the film that took home the Audience Award and the Special Mention of the Jury of this year's edition of Ceau, Cinema! Festival:
Soră-mea/My Sister, directed by Kinga Debska (Poland). The cast stars some of the most famous Poland actors of the moment. The subject is an universal and touching one: two sisters must deal with the fact that their parents are nearing the end of their life.
From 18.00, the winner of this year's Ceau, Cinema! competition will be screened,
Viaţa e o trompetă/Life is a Trumpet, directed by Antonio Nuic, well-known Croatian director born in Bosnia. “A film with a cast of actors playing naturally and authentically, with a firm-hand director attentive to details, with humour arising from vital situations. A film reminding us that a trumpet sound rewinds the fragile embroidery of family relations” – was the Jury's motivation for the prize granted.
In closing of Saturday, from 23.00 (after the big scene concerts), the Portuguese cinema will be celebrated by presenting a selection of shorts recently awarded prizes at the partner
festival Curtas Vila do Conde (Portugal).
