UFO’s, Monsters and Utopias: Three Queer Shorts

About This Movie

UFO’s, Monsters and Utopias presents a unique anthology of three queer short films from Portugal. It’s kind of an eclectic trip through imaginative landscapes, touching upon desires that often go unspoken. Entre a Luz e o Nada by Joana de Sousa dives into the ethereal, while Sob Influência by Ricardo Branco plays with horror tropes to explore identity. Uma Rapariga Imaterial by André G... feels like an exploration of the intangible. The pacing is intentionally varied, reflecting the emotional weight and surreal elements at play. You get a mix of practical effects that feel both grounded and whimsical, allowing for a playful yet earnest engagement with its themes of queerness and existence. Each piece contributes to a constellation of experiences, almost like a curated gallery of diverse narratives.
