RAINBOW’S SUNSET

JOEL LAMANGAN, 112’ (2018)

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.
