A brief telling on a smoke coming from a building

Yghor Boy's experimental short "Fumaça", ("Smoke") is one of those entries for the one-minute festival, with countless titles running a full minute or below (this one goes for 30 seconds), this one goes to show the effects of a smoke coming out of a building but presented backwards, from a highly evolved state to a lesser one, with some variation in between but it's easy to notice that it's moving backwards rather forward. Not sure if it was an actual capture of a possible building on fire or if it was created through special effects but it's look fine for what it proposes and nothing more. Very harmless. 6/10.

Portuguese-language cinema, spanning Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone regions, focuses on history, cultural identity, and the struggles of ordinary people, often framed with poetic or allegorical storytelling. In Portugal, cinema has emphasized meditative pacing and philosophical depth, reflecting on memory and tradition. In Brazil, it has often been politically charged and socially vibrant, highlighting inequality and resilience while experimenting with popular and avant-garde forms.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
