We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

This film from Lisbon, is Nobert's Super 8 film-letter, with the help of which he tries to take up contact with his distant family. Nobert has learnt the art of painting of Portuguese tiles, the azulejos by that he earns his living. Through Nobert's painting, the visual world of the film base on the art and decorative tradition of azulejos painting. It shows an interesting parallel and an example of the possible integration of the cultures of today's immigrants in the Portuguese and overall European history. The development of tile-painting tells the story of connection and interaction between cultures. The style of Portuguese azulejos were influenced from outside. The system of motives, its unique expression, on which Portugals are certainly proud of, was created through the integration of Spanish, Dutch, Arabic, Indian, Chinese, Brazilian and African motives into national art.
