Black & White - International Audiovisual Festival

In May Porto opens its doors to the monochromatic aesthetics. The Black & White - International Audiovisual Festival, which receives video, audio and photographs in black and white, will take into competition works from all over the world.
With unique worldwide characteristics this initiative grew from the need to answer to the audience's growing sensitivity to black & white specificity, leaving behind the prejudice that relates this aesthetics with works of early cinema.
But the festival shows more than videos and photos in two colours, it also encourages the creation of sound environments referring to the black and white.
Over four days, several activities related to the audiovisual world will be carried out in addition to the competitions: artist talks, screenings and extensions from other international festivals. The nights will also be exciting with a broad cultural program.

THE TREE OF PAN

Director: Aitken Pearson.

A short, unclassifiable film without dialogue  except the voiceover intro yet with a compelling narrative dependent on music & visuals. Two souls find refuge in each other after being lured by the mythic  Greek God Pan into a mysterious tree and are reborn into nature. The Great God Pan’s archetypal power lies dormant within Esmeralda and Augusto until its irresistible force beckons.

Cold Water

Disillusionment helps the feet enter the cold water. It’s like a whisper indifferent to the distorted music that echoes round the beach. Disillusionment makes these people beg to heaven what they cannot achieve on earth. How many are the dreams they dare not dream?
