feature film |
MOBILE is a long term project, a feature film in preparation. It tells the story of a young immigrant in a big city and a galaxy of characters that cross her life. It's a film about being a stranger in a new place. Cities are places made to be in movement, people have to move fast, be in transit permanently, struggling to find their grounding. How to stop? How to slow down? The film is about the contemporary search for identity and human contact in a technological and global world. need a producer

OS VIVOS documentary |
OS VIVOS is a documentary about the Portuguese writer Maria Gabriela Llansol (1931-2008). The title designates all living things, without hierarchy. With 30 published books and an estimated 30.000 unpublished pages, her complex, secret and innovative personality is present in her books and diaries. I want to make a deeply human film, to film the same way she wrote. Following the lines of her biography, the film will create a complex labyrinth of portals, encounters and scenes based on her daily life and books. Importance is given to the way Maria Gabriela Llansol observes ‘a world of worlds’. Produced by: Periferia Filmes. Currently waiting for funding by ICA, Portugal

MUTANT-PAINTINGS light boxes exhibition |
Mutant-paintings are painted on acetate using slide mounts, vitrail glass paint and drops of water. The paints are solvent based and don’t mix with the water; the water creates a vacuum which permits the movement. Each time the slides are projected they form a unique landscape. These slides have a short life as the water tends to evaporate and the slide to dry. The final landscape is the result between painting, finger interaction, heat of the projector and time passing through. I've been exploring this technique since 1990, now I present a selection of mutant-paintings scanned from the original and mounted on light boxes for exhibition in gallery.

PHOTOGRAPHY exhibition + book |
I have done photography for many years, first 35mm and slides, nowadays digital. Is is one of my ways to look at things, details, faces of people I like, places and the light of course. I use photography largely in the preparation for my films, I use it when I travel, I use it almost everyday, like a diary, a register of sensibilities. I have thousands of photos. I am currently in the process of selection. Want to exhibit them and topublish them in a book as well. |

CHANGES installation |
In the gesture of 'looking at the trees' I started to learn about the movements of mutation, soft, internal. When observing the trees, I observed those movements introspectively, understanding my own changes in this snowflake dance and flaring flowers. Slowly a film was being born, better: a meditation. CHANGES shows trees in 4 different seasons in a 2 screens installation with sound in a loop. At Casa dos Dias da Agua, Lisbon, April 2007 Changes was projected in the space between the windows installation available to book |

ATELIER DE CINEMA book
|
From August 2004 to 2007, Cláudia Tomaz wrote a monthly article called ‘Atelier de Cinema’ (Cinema Atelier) where she explores different techniques, creative approaches and processes from the point of view of who makes films – the filmmaker, the artist, the creator. The articles are like workshops organized by theme. How to be an independent filmmaker / visual artist is one of the subliminal issues always present. A first series of articles is more focused on traditional film in its different aspects. A second series searches new paths for the future of film, combining video and media arts. Cláudia explores ideas for a new hybrid cinema born from digital culture. The book will unite the articles published in the magazine and some new texts will be included.
