Cais Filmes e Arte

In Cascais, the “greatest band in the world,” with “the best album of all time” in tow, landed in the land of all illusions, where the grayness of decades gave way to color, nightlife, controversy, debate, and effervescent citizenship. Thirty years later, previously unreleased testimonies, sounds, and images from the show reconstruct a puzzle of indelible memories for a generation that in 1975 was young or a teenager.

Tamagotchi_Balé is about affective dystopias, the end of erotic experience, narcissism and algorithms. Following a logic of hyperlinks, which mixes dream narratives, extensive research on neoliberal subjectivity, companion devices, 1990s films and video games, two women try to establish a relationship on green screens of Zoom. The Tamagotchi was born from an alien plant and is the first experience of a relationship with a machine that my generation has experienced.
