Por Detrás da Moeda (2020)
An ode to free spirits
I saw Luís Moya's ilm at its premiere, in Fantasporto 2020. It was a realy emotional and special experience in all ways. The room was full of friends and supporters who were there to watch a film, but above all to support a friend, he himself an artist "de résistance".
The subject of the film is street artists, our everyday hero.
Throughout the film and their beautifull visually told stories, we learn to love them and feel for them at every step of the story. They are the ones who dared to step outside the box of what is socially acceptable and followed their sense of freedom and creativity with all its pains and glories. The film is beautifully shot, the director's sensibility and love towards his characters and the work of film is felt throughout the story and the result is a beautifully crafted piece of work that can touch anyone in any part of the world. In the end there was a standing ovation and some tears from all who were deeply moved by a sense of love towards art, towards living in freedom, towards the love and perseverance of following our dreams. Highly recommend it.
