"WE MADE A MOVIE" is a short film premiering at IndieLisboa on May 25, 2024, at 9:30 PM, as part of the Novíssimos competition. The film tells the story of Maria Inês (Inês Cruz), a pre-adolescent experiencing the first hints of love in her neighborhood, always accompanied by her friends (Joana Embaló, Mariana Rodrigues, Matilde Barata, and Cláudia Maria).

The film is the result of a video workshop held in the Loureiro neighborhood, as part of the Bairros project: Imminent Community Artistic Workshops. The entire narrative was developed collectively, seeking to showcase the beauty of this community - the street as a public space, a boxing club, a soccer field, a theater space, and the informal gathering spots among young people. The result exceeded expectations, thanks to the richness of the location and the dedication of the protagonists. It's a documentary fiction that tells a love story while revealing the process of making a film with many hands.
