of Gold (2025)

"Where the light touches, the memory endures."

Set against the glistening backdrop of Porto’s Douro River, "de Ouro" is a quiet, three-minute drift through a world often overlooked. Captured in a grainy 5:4 frame that evokes the feel of a memory, this observational short film invites the viewer aboard a simple river cruise — not for grandeur, but for the fleeting poetry of sunlight on water, a breeze through aged stone. More impression than narrative, "de Ouro" gently reminds us that the smallest moments — like the river’s golden glimmer — are often the ones that stay with us, etched not in time, but in feeling.
