RAINBOW’S SUNSET

DISTANCE
PERCI INTALAN, 100’ (2018)
“Um respeitado senador deixa temporariamente a sua mulher de
seis décadas para tomar conta do seu melhor amigo que é gay e a
morrer de cancro. Apesar da benção da mulher, os seus 3 filhos
ficaram escandalizados. O homem desafia o seu protesto colectivo
e declara que ama o seu amigo, padrinho dos três no baptismo e do
seu casamento, do mesmo modo que ama a sua mulher.
O realizador Joel Lamangan e eu desenvolvemos o conceito para
este filme a caminho do Porto em Fevereiro de 2018. Estávamos
no mesmo voo com o actor Tony Mabesa e eu sugeri que se fizesse
um filme com ele como actor principal. Tony acabou por vencer
o Prémio de Melhor Actor no Festival de Houston.” - F.L.
“A revered former senator temporarily leaves his wife of six decades to
take care of his gay best friend, who is dying of cancer. Notwithstanding
their mother’s blessings, his three children are scandalized. The old man
defies their collective protest and declares that he loves his friend –
godfather to all three both in baptism and matrimony – the same way
that he loves his wife.
Director Joel Lamangan and I developed the concept for this film on our
way to Oporto in February 2018. We were on the same flight with actor
Tony Mabesa and I suggested we should make a film with him in the lead.
Tony passed away on October 4, 2019. Tony won a Best Actor award at
the Houston International Film Festival.” - F.L.

“Liza está imersa em dor pela perda do amor da sua vida quando
recebe a visita da pessoa menos provável, o marido que ela deixara
há 5 anos. Sem muitas perguntas, Anton convida-a a regressar a ele
e aos seus 3 filhos. Eu sou um orgulhoso membro da comunidade
LGBTQ e fiz vários filmes com personagens homosexuais mas
não com lésbicas. Agradeço a Perci Intalan que me incluiu em
“Distance” e me deu a oportunidade de fazer um filme com personagens
lésbicas.” - F.L.
“Liza is still drowning in grief from losing the love of her life when she
receives a visit from the most unlikely person - her husband, who she left
five years ago. With no questions asked and no conditions made, Anton
invites her back to his and their two children’s lives. I am a proud member
of the LGBTQ community and I have several films with gay characters
but not with lesbians. I am thankful that Perci Intalan included me
in Distance and gave me the opportunity to make a film with lesbian
characters.” - F.L.
