Besides Best Film, Saint George, which was shot in the working-class neighbourhoods of Lisbon during the troika years, also scooped six other trophies: Best Director, Best Actor (Nuno Lopes), Best Supporting Actor (José Raposo), Best Original Script, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. In an emotional speech, Lopes recalled that the film was produced at the peak of the austerity years but underlined, “We are not clear of the crisis years yet,” subsequently touching on the unclear financing schemes for films and the delays regularly encountered during the funding process. He also demanded an increase in the culture budget, requesting that it be a higher proportion of the state budget.
One of the most critically acclaimed titles from last year, Pedro Pinho’s The Nothing Factory [+lee también:
