#cinanima

Next week, on November 10 & 12, The Beakmann Incident is coming to Espinho, Portugal via CINANIMA as part of the International Shorts Competition 3.

My work-in-progress shot for the Cinanima trailer The process😊✨

2025/11/12—16: A short report from Cinanima Espinho festival:

Go see Pelikan Blue (2023, László Csáki, 79’) whenever you have an opportunity! Animated documentary about a group of friends with a strong desire to travel abroad from a freshly open-bordered post-Soviet 90's Hungary — train ticket forgery pictured with love.

Cinanima 25 appreciated the work of Jiří Gráf & NAPA Records on HURIKÁN with the Best Sound Design award! Congrats!

We got the best accomodation (ever?) from the festival — whole apartment on 4th floor of Hotel Solverde, a bit aged but very functional, with fully equipped kitchen and an ocean view. Winds were beating strong against the windows, it rained a LOT.

And needles to say Centro Multimeios de Espinho architects have done a successful job of protecting their building from visitors getting in on rainy days safely — using wooden ramps which turn to perfect slides — combined with handrails that are too wide to grasp with a human hand. Very effective!

Had grilled bream (dourada) and sardines at Casa Locas. One of the best fish restaurants we've been to in Portugal so far.

These pics are from the Municipal Museum of Espinho — a former sardines canning factory.
