About

The Australian Cinémathèque presents a special retrospective focus on Portuguese director Pedro Costa, recognised as one of the most unique voices in contemporary filmmaking. Capturing the lives of marginalised people, often centring on migrants living in the slums of Lisbon, Costa's films are transcendent through the beauty of his images and closeness achieved in his characterisation.
