The movie is the first part of their trilogy, the entirety of which is set to be completed in the next couple of months. Pathos is the first instalment in Joaquim Pinto and Nuno Leonel’s latest project. The development process for this feature began back in 2014, with some of the earliest footage dating from that year as well. Pathos was selected by the jury of the Ica’s 2016 feature-film grants contest, but the financing process suffered several delays: as the results of the contest were announced, a group of production houses applied for a precautionary measure that led to the suspension of the jury’s decisions for several months, which then delayed the signing of the contracts (which only happened at the end of March 2017). A week later, a second precautionary measure and a lawsuit against the Ica were issued, which led to yet another suspension of the financing.
Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Joaquim Pinto and Nuno Leonel's Fish Tail (2015) is showing April 16 - May 16, 2018 in the United States as part of the series The Unusual Subjects.When I was a child, my dreams had me follow the mysterious shadows of one Long John Silver. I used to sit in my bed in the south of Germany late at night, hundreds of miles away from any sea or real adventures. However, I was under the spell of Robert Louis Stevenson, his written feelings, and those mysterious figures that came from many dangerous journeys undertaken and many more ahead. Emotions lingered on obscure horizons, emotions that I now find only in a kiss or in filmmakers such as Fritz Lang or Jacques Rivette. Nothing related to these feelings can be called "real," but still there are only a few childhood memories more...

“Restoring our belief in this world—this is the power of modern cinema.”—Gilles Deleuze, Cinema 2The names of two genres of images have migrated from painting to photography and into our digital age: “portrait” and “landscape.” While these terms have become shorthand for whether an image is oriented vertically or horizontally, they are rarely used to describe contemporary commercial cinema, in which portraiture is all too often reduced to costume and cartoon, and landscape is a computer-generated backdrop. But there is a rich vein of filmmaking that privileges both portrait and landscape, in which they are no longer separate genres but two modes of cinema that can enrich and complicate each other. It is at the intersection of portrait and landscape that the films of Joaquim Pinto, Matthew Porterfield and Agnès Varda reside. From the Mediterranean fishing community of Varda’s Le Pointe Courte to the Portuguese countryside in...

Fish Tail by Joaquim Pinto and Nuno Leonel is an essayistic scream for freedom beyond globalization. Set in the village of Rabo de Peixe (translates "fish tail") on the Azores, this follow-up to Pinto's acclaimed What Now? Remind Me is another personal observation in which cinema is created from life instead of the other way around. Although the film is also a personal and highly intimate endeavor, it is mainly concerned with its political and documentary subject: The faith of small scale fishermen in the shadow of global industrial overfishing. It follows young fisherman Pedro and his peers as they struggle to survive with new laws. The film was shot between 1999 and 2001 and was initially broadcast once in a 55-minute version for Portuguese...

Experimental strand to open with Guy Maddin’s The Forbidden Room
The Berlinale (Feb 5-15) has unveiled the line-up for its 45th Forum strand, comprising 43 films in its main programme, of which 31 are world premieres and 10 international premieres.
The programme includes avant garde, experimental works, essays, long-term observations and political reportage.
Canadian director Guy Maddin’s The Forbidden Room will open this year’s programme. The film’s numerous plotlines are inspired by real, imaginary and photographic memories of films from the silent era, using a half-damaged nitrate print aesthetic in homage.

How would you program this year's newest, most interesting films into double features with movies of the past you saw in 2014?
Looking back over the year at what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2014—in theatres or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2014 to create a unique double feature.
All the contributors were given the option to write some text explaining their 2014 fantasy double feature. What's more, each writer was given the option to list more pairings, with or without explanation, as further imaginative film programming we'd be lucky to catch...

Joaquim Pinto’s What Now? Remind Me opens on a rapturous image of a slug slowly — slooowly — making its way across a rough patch of twigs. The shot primes you for the rest of the movie. It slows down your heartbeat, attunes you to tiny changes within the frame, and prepares you for the drama of nature. By the time some nondescript shadows start to dance over the slug, it’s as if an army has invaded.There is simply no way to do justice to the majesty of What Now? Remind Me. A description of its subject matter would fall pathetically short and sound impossibly grim. It’s a nearly three-hour documentary, basically a video diary, of a year in the life of the HIV-positive Pinto, as he goes between his bucolic home in Portugal, where he lives with his husband Nuno Leonel, and Madrid, Spain, where he is...
