O Fim do Mundo (Basil da Cunha, 2020)
The film O Fim do Mundo , by Basil da Cunha , will be screened on 22 November at 7pm at the Great Hall of the Rectory of ULisboa. This session is part of the "Transformações" Cycle of the Cinema at ULisboa programme .
"Transformações" Cycle: In the course of every being's life, a multitude of transformations take place. In the world of literature, Gregor Samsa was transformed into an insect. In physics, Émilie du Châtelet revealed that energy can neither be created nor obliterated. In cinema, metamorphosis has served as both a narrative theme and a symbolic motif. This film series focuses on the different strands that have passed through us, as individuals, as well as a society, from the 1960s to the modern day. It screens five films that address such diverse transformations as the rural exodus, urban planning, gender (dis)equality, climate changes, migrations as well as dictatorial regimes, in order to emphasise that in the arts, as in life, nothing is lost, but everything is transformed.
