Following the final selections by the jury, of which I am proud to be part of, the Hall of Fame de Cinema – Public Choice Awards are now open to the public!
This year, the jury included 123 film enthusiasts and professionals, who carefully shortlisted films, directors, actors, and actresses. The site is run by Bruno Fernandes, together with Jay (Luís Sá), Joana Oliveira, João Santiago & Lisa Ferreira, Miguel Ferreira, and Raquel Sampaio. Genre categories include Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Terror, Action/Thriller, Comedy, and two special categories for the year.
Now it’s your turn to have a say. The public voting allows film lovers everywhere to participate in celebrating cinema and honoring standout performances and works from this year’s jury selections.
Visit the Hall of Fame de Cinema site to cast your vote and explore all the curated films and profiles chosen by the jury.
My latest post in The Listening Room HQ is about what happens when creative practice enters the space of men’s work.
Creative practice has a way of loosening what words alone can’t reach. It’s not about art as product, but about opening. A way men can meet themselves, each other, and others differently.
It’s not theory or performance, it’s a way of grounding, disarming, and opening what’s otherwise hard to reach.
In spirit, it sits not far from Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files, a place where correspondence becomes a kind of soul map. The Listening Room HQ works in a similar way though with men’s practice: gathering fragments, gestures, and creative practice into a field of shared soul work.
