Louis Hothothot’s feature debut “Four Journeys” will open the 34th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), which also revealed the lineup of the International Competition program, as well as other sections.
“Four Journeys” is a personal film about the destructive influence on a Chinese family of the one-child policy. Hothothot was born as an “illegal” second child, and the authorities punished his parents harshly. The director forces his parents to confront their traumatic past in the film.
A total of 264 titles from more than 80 countries play in the festival, which runs from Nov. 17-28. Artistic director Orwa Nyrabia said the films show us “how artistic freedom, courage and engagement with the world come in many different languages, styles, and viewpoints.” He added: “The documentary field is being confirmed as a future-proof art form that is unapologetically open, diverse and continuously developing.”

Seven Portuguese titles will screen during the Berlinale, and a bevy of Portuguese producers are attending the European Film Market seeking co-producers and international sales agents for their projects.
Two Portuguese features will screen in the non-competitive Berlinale Forum dedicated to more avant-garde cinema. “The Portuguese Woman,” a historical drama by Rita Azevedo Gomes, is based on Robert Musil’s “Three Women,” adapted by Portuguese novelist, Agustina Bessa-Luis. The film premiered at Argentina’s Mar del Plata. It has an austere filmic style, based on static movements of the actors, thereby creating tableaux vivants.
“Serpentarius” is about a young man in search of his mother’s ghost in a post-disaster African landscape. Angolan-born Carlos Conceição’s shorts include “Goodnight Cinderella” and “Bad Bunny” which both played in Cannes’ Critics Week.
The Forum Expanded sidebar includes 40-minute experimental documentary “Fordlandia Malaise” by Susana de Sousa Dias, about failed utopia Fordlandia, established...

Members of the film community are coming out of the woodwork to band together and push back on the repression that is anticipated to come out of the incoming Trump administration. From documentarians reaffirming their commitment to exposing hidden truths to narrative filmmakers pledging to combat racism with their work, many are planning a strong response to the 2016 presidential election.

2. Memory Believes Before Knowing Remembers
Weekend 3 - Jan.10-12th
The third Harvard Gulbenkian program showcases the work of three extraordinary artists who emblematize the creative and often radical approaches to non-fiction narrative that have transformed documentary cinema as a practice and realm of inquiry over the last two decades. In keeping with the larger mission of the Harvard-Gulbenkian program to create a new international context and conceptual framework from which to reexamine Portuguese cinema, the celebrated work of Susana de Sousa Dias is offered here in dialogue with the films and presence of two eminent figures of contemporary world cinema- the legendary Chilean documentarian Patricio Guzmán and South Korean experimental filmmaker Soon-Mi Yoo. Guiding the distinct work of each director is a restless searching for an original form adequate and appropriate to the difficult and, indeed, bitterly contested chapters of national history they have bravely chosen to engage. Embracing...

Mubi is proud to present work produced for Harvard at the Gulbenkian, a collaboration between the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Harvard Film Archive. Curated by Haden Guest and Joaquim Sapinho, and produced by Pedro Fernandes Duarte, Harvard at the Gulbenkian organizes a series of dialogues about Portuguese film and world cinema. The series consists of 12 weekends, between November 2013 and July 2014, in which a Portuguese filmmaker and one, two or three international filmmakers, and one or more important film critics or scholars of many nationalities are brought together for a series of screenings and public discussions. We will be hosting the articles and video conversations produced for the series, and this index will be updated as events take place in Lisbon.
"The inaugural weekend of the Harvard-Gulbenkian collaboration makes clear the central ambition and idea of our program: a radical rethinking and recontextualization of Portuguese cinema within the broader realm of world cinema.
