"Festa"

Festa is a holiday in Portuguese. People are hungry for festa. And the scarier the world around them, the more and more people want to celebrate. They eat like it's the last time, drink like it's the last time, and laugh. But sometimes where there is a lot of laughter, there is a lot of fear. This project focuses on the visual images of insecurity and fear that manifest during celebrations. It has been filmed over the last three years in Portugal, a country where there hasn't been a war for a very long time. Against the backdrop of Russian aggression, the biggest war in Europe since World War II.
