The MOTELX festival, in Lisbon, receives this Sunday the screening of "Flying Machine", a film directed by Solveig Nordlund, a Luso-Swedish filmmaker who signs the adaptation of a work by British writer JG Ballard.

The event serves as a pretext for a broader conversation about the past and future of cinema, according to the approach proposed by the organization of the Lisbon festival.

Solveig Nordlund, with Portuguese and Swedish roots, brings to MOTELX a cinematic interpretation of one of the most influential authors of science fiction and speculative literature of the 20th century.
