Hyperion

New short film by João Mendes Pinto

An essay film that focuses on rebuilding the idea of the Paralympic athlete through a historical revisiting of the Paralympic games. The archival images are accompanied by two voices of contemporary Paralympians that reminisce on their work as athletes and the way they and other people have dealt with their disabilities.

In a rural periphery in the midst of transformation, agricultural machines devastate the fields and the places are haunted by an eternal gloom. Out of the flames, the bells are reborn, invoking the presence of the community.

An anxious young man struggles to accept his vulnerabilities whilst on holiday in an upper-class summer residence in Sardinia with his overtly masculine family.

A medieval tale about a soldier and his responsibility in announcing the tragic death of the King in combat.
