Cédric Kahn and how to raise the level of competition

Observador5 September 2026 at 09:21

The Venice Film Festival is at its beginning and already presents films that stand out for their quality. Among them, "15/18" by Cédric Kahn is considered the strongest film in the competition so far, demonstrating the elevated level that the filmmaker brings to the event.

Beyond Kahn, other directors also present notable works at the festival. Paul Schrader and Shinya Tsukamoto are also participating in the competition with films that explore the theme of trauma, each approaching this subject in their own way.

The presence of these three filmmakers at the festival suggests that this year's edition of the Venice Film Festival offers the audience works that seek to deepen emotional and human questions through cinema.

Memories of Vilar de Mouros between the stage and the "blacksmith school of the region"

The Vilar de Mouros festival, one of the most significant musical events in Portugal, is remembered through José Maria de Barros, president of the local Parish Council, who was part of the stage electrical team in the 1980s when U2 and The Stranglers performed. A photography exhibition by Miguel Estima, a native of the village, recovers images from various editions of the event, focusing on the people and the transformation the village underwent during the festival. Estima experienced the festival since 1996 and holds memories of the Young Gods concert, while Barros recalls Joe Cocker's performance as the most memorable. The old Fontes workshop, which served as the "blacksmith school of the region," still preserves old machinery and is considered heritage that should not disappear.
