The Hours - João Grilo
Marta Reis Andrade, Marta Sousa Ribeiro
Portugal | 2023 | 4’04 | Italian Premiere
The character in red is contained in a web of repeated and interlocking actions of her roiutine. However, the yearn to free herself from automatisms and frustrations grows stronger and louder. From the inside to the outside, from the mechanical to the spontaneous, one character becomes several. They explore the possibilities of doing without thinking.

Marta Reis Andrade (1991) and Marta Sousa Ribeiro (1992) met in Lisbon Film School and collaborated in different projects together. Nevertheless their paths diverged and they pursue two different styles of cinema: the first animation and the second live action. After more than 10 years of their first encounter in Lisbon Film School, they met to co-direct the project “As Horas” which merges their two styles of film.
