More about FESTin-Ceará
In this 3rd edition the FESTin-Ceará aims to promote the screening of short and feature-length films on a non-competitive basis, promoting interculturality and cultural exchange between Portuguese-speaking countries. Lasting four days, the festival will become the main stage for screening films from the CPLP countries (Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries), which recently became part of nine nations: Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea- Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor.
The Festival proves to be an important tool for disseminating cinema from Portuguese-speaking countries, presenting local film productions of different formats. With exhibitions and activities aimed at a wide audience, from children to lovers of experimental cinema, FESTin expands cooperation between territories and exchanges between artists, directors and film makers.

The House that Unites us is Your House. There are around nine spread across the first country of the 21st century: Timor-Leste. The Manas who built them tell stories and experiences that are found in Portuguese newspapers from the 1990s and in the images that Max Stahl filmed in 1999 on his return to Timor, after the Santa Cruz Massacre. These are reports on violence and views on society and the human person in a visual portrait of Timor-Leste.

Nowadays there are young individual Timbila players who integrate the instrument into popular music with fusions of contemporary bands. On the one hand, this awakens curiosity about the origin and its history, on the other hand, it raises the question of where the original practice of timbila went and whether traditional groups still exist today. In the depths of the Zavala District there are still masters with their orchestras who pass on the art of making, playing and dancing Timbila from generation to generation; and who practice this art according to rules that must be strictly followed.
