Lisbon in cinema: studio, location, and archive

Abstract

For this masterclass, the goal was to probe a link between the use of documentary and archive found footage in the fiction around Lisbon. After establishing the contents under a sort of foreword, the present hypothesis is mainly organized in three parts/categories (mapping a path from studio to location and ending in the archive). It all starts framing part of the research outcome on the city and architecture of Lisbon and its cinema: sometimes being real, sometimes not; sometimes, even, being other places, or being somewhere else.
