Under the influence of Chris Marker, LATEXOS promotes the interaction between images and sounds that aspire to nourish us avoiding any orthodoxy or dogma.

Four films that delve into the expressive capabilities of the medium share the spotlight in the ninth edition of Novos Cinemas.

The unique exploration of a filmmaker, who uses cinema as the ideal tool for reflecting on biography, family, identity, self-knowledge and learning, finds echoes in a feature film that consciously illustrates the threshold relationships of use and fascination between a filmmaker and her conscious (and photogenic) subject.

On the other hand, another film starts from a wandering through the past landscape of a mythical city in our imagination to highlight its radical transformation in the era of progress and mass tourism. A fourth proposal, based on the exploration of the filmmaker’s family universe, reveals aspects of our country’s past through the metaphorical relationship between two extremely unique beings: an endemic plant species from overseas and a curious and restless filmmaker.
