Focus on Isadora Neves Marques, Portuguese artist and filmmaker hosted in residence in 2024 for the development of her upcoming feature film DNA at the speed of light.
Her hybrid works blend speculative fiction, critical thought, and visual poetry, exploring the intersections of ecology, queer identity, biopolitics, science, and sensory memory through a singular, slow, and embodied cinematic language—often set in near futures.
Her work represented Portugal at the 2022 Venice Biennale and has received numerous awards and international recognition.

Becoming Male in the Middle Ages (2022, 22’)

My senses are all I have to offer (2024, 20’)
A filmic poem where sensory memory, otherness, and bodily resistance become both narrative and visual material.
This screening offers a rare opportunity to discover a bold and essential body of work, at the crossroads of queer, ecological, and speculative auteur cinema.
This project is supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation – Delegation in France, co-funded as part of the GULBENKIAN EXHIBITIONS program, which aims to promote the Portuguese art scene within French institutions.
