Visits from a Distant Relative Inês Oliveira • 2026 • Portugal • 62’ • DCP World Premiere

Over seven years, Mariana Viegas photographed film sets that would turn out to be the last of an era in which films were shot on 35mm. Today, she returns to the perspective she had when she was young and then worked with filmmakers such as Šarunas Bartas, Pedro Costa, João César Monteiro and Manoel de Oliveira. Accompanied by a few guests, she will take us on a journey through a surprising archive, in an encounter between photography and cinema, creation and life.
