Several Belgian short films selected at Curtas Vila do Conde

"Muscle Man in: Metal Mayhem" and "Head in the Clouds" will be part of the 2024 programming of the Portuguese festival

The Curtas Vila do Conde festival returns in 2024 for its 32nd edition. Various events are organized as part of the festival, including film screenings, exhibitions, performances, workshops, concerts, and parties. The festival features different competitions: international, Portuguese, experimental, music videos, Take One!, and Curtinhas (films for children).

Muscle Man in: Metal Mayhem by Nicolas Gemoets is selected in the Curtinhas section, a category specially designed for children. The short film produced by La Cambre has already circulated in several international festivals in 2024, such as IndieLisboa and Stuttgart.

Muscle Man, the world's cleanest superhero, embarks on an exhilarating battle against a giant robot determined to reduce the city to rubble, but his obsession with order could lead to his downfall.

Also selected in the Curtinhas section is Head In The Clouds by Rémi Durin, produced by La Boîte,... Productions. The film was in competition this year at the Stuttgart and Annecy festivals.

Alphonse, a little squirrel, always has his head in the clouds. He loves to contemplate them and sometimes even take photos of them. Neither his parents nor his friends really understand this passion. Yet, gazing at clouds is not without its challenges. Alphonse must sometimes show a certain courage worthy of the greatest explorers.

See you in Portugal from July 12 to 21, 2024!
