Porto Porto

Gabe Klinger / Portugal, Poland, USA, France / 2016 / 75 min / English, Portuguese

A life-changing one-night encounter in Porto between a young American and a French woman. One of the last roles of the tragically killed Anton Yelchin.

Young American expatriate Jake and a slightly older French woman, Mati, once experienced a brief and passionate connection in the northerly Portuguese city of Porto. A mystery remains about the moments they shared, and in searching through memories, they relive the depths of a night uninhibited by the consequences of time. Porto innovatively combines diverse film formats, the Super 8, as well as the 16 mm and 35 mm films.

“Documentary vs. fiction? Making fiction feature is so different while you have to invent things as opposed to just observing and documenting things. There’s a real schism between documentary filmmaking and narrative filmmaking and I think because of that it takes different personalities. There are very few people who can do both and do both well, and I’m finally starting to understand that, why that schism exists. Man, but it’s so challenging, first of all to create something from scratch and then to visualise that in your head before you have to face the material constraints of it.” (Gabe Klinger)
