Program
Venues and Tickets
The Portuguese filmmaker investigates spectators, ranging from Citizen Kane watched on a smartphone to a soccer match projected in a film theater, mixed with interviews to critics, filmmakers, and cinephiles.
Cinema constantly gains new forms; it disarms and reorganizes itself on new grounds, and at the same time it raises, educates, and defines different kinds of spectators, as a reflection and trace of that mutant nature. The Amazed Spectator updates the question “What is cinema?” by depicting the tracks and following the roads marked by different obsessions triggered from the theater, which are here featured in the shape of testimonies. The images of a fantasy audience that screams, transforms, and explodes in their seats are captured as POV shots of the films themselves, as if they were watching the reactions of children. They carry a dreamy density that express the material element of reams, while also appear to be ready to turn them into nightmares as soon as they feel like it. AM
