José de Pina

Seven competing reporters are assigned to cover the Carnavael de Torres Vedras in Lisbon. Each of the seven tries to attract as much audience as possible to their broadcast. The situation escalates at a masked ball.

A kino-investigation about spectatorship, a continuous conversation between different kinds of spectators: which one is more cinema: Citizen Kane on a mobile phone or a football game projected in a cinema theatre? What is the cinema of uncertainty? How many kinds of amazement exist? Does fear and belief precede amazement? What are the rights and duties of the spectator? Is the essay film a manifesto against voyeurism? Should spectators be paid? What amazes the spectator of this day and age?

A program filled with controversy, some humor, and plenty of irony. José de Pina, Luís Pedro Nunes and Luana do Bem join Pedro Boucherie Mendes in the studio to debate the things that generally, and specifically, get on their nerves.
