André Guiomar
PRT, MOZ, 30'

In 1992, after the Peace Agreements and the end of the Mozambican Civil War, the process of demobilizing troops and handing over weapons began. For several days, fighters and guerrillas shared a space of transition and change. Vicente, who had been away from his village and family for several years, tried to understand the moment he was experiencing in order to make a decision about what to do in the future.

André Guiomar is a founding partner of Olhar de Ulisses. In 2022, he became a Berlinale Talents member, and in 2023, he premiered his short fiction film “Espinho”, co-directed with Mya Kaplan, at the Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight, in The Factory program. He co-directed “Saturno” with Luís Costa, a film that premiered at the Guadalajara Film Festival. His first feature-length documentary, “A Nossa Terra, o Nosso Altar” (2020), had its world premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest, won the Youth Jury Award at ZINEBI, and the Emerging Filmmaker Award at Porto/Post/Doc. In 2018, he directed “Pele de Luz”, winner of the Doclisboa Jury Award. He is also the producer of several films that have premiered at festivals such as Berlinale, Clermont-Ferrand, Cairo, among many others. He is currently preparing his first feature film.
