of Gold
Set against the glistening backdrop of Porto’s Douro River, "de Ouro" is a quiet, three-minute drift through a world often overlooked. Captured in a grainy 5:4 frame that evokes the feel of a memory, this observational short film invites the viewer aboard a simple river cruise — not for grandeur, but for the fleeting poetry of sunlight on water, a breeze through aged stone. More impression than narrative, "de Ouro" gently reminds us that the smallest moments — like the river’s golden glimmer — are often the ones that stay with us, etched not in time, but in feeling.
Monkey Business
Research chemist Barnaby Fulton works on a fountain of youth pill for a chemical company. One of the labs chimps gets loose in the laboratory and mixes chemicals, but then pours the mix into the water cooler. When trying one of his own samples, washed down with water from the cooler, Fulton begins to act just like a twenty-year-old and believes his potion is working. Soon his wife and boss are also behaving like children.
