Hall of Fame de Cinema (Film Hall of Fame)

Hall of Fame de Cinema (Film Hall of Fame) is the creation of Bruno Fernandes, with whom I serve on the jury.

The project is run by Bruno alongside Jay (Luís Sá), Joana Oliveira, João Santiago & Lisa Ferreira, Miguel Ferreira, and Raquel Sampaio.

Hall of Fame de Cinema celebrates film through a “hall of fame” that may — or may not — match the canon.

Each year, the juri (this year 123 members) selects films, directors, actors, and actresses, as well as winners in four genre categories: Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror, Action/Thriller, and Comedy. Two additional, year-specific categories are also chosen.

After the jury’s final selections, voting opens to the public.

The Hall of Fame de Cinema also features film essays, monologues, curiosities, and profiles of actors, actresses, and directors.

I hope you enjoy exploring the site — and discovering this year’s jury choices.

Por Quem os Sinos Tocam is a documentary about the Elias Family owners of Carrilhão Lvsitanvs, the largest and heaviest itinerant carillon in the world. Por Quem os Sinos Tocam can be watched here: https://www.rtp.pt/play/p11085/por-quem-os-sinos-tocam If you’re unable to see it on RTP, YouTube has some clips of the documentary.

Lvsitanvs was in Porto a few days ago performing purpose written music pieces by Fátima Fonte, Fernando Lapa and Rui Cunha. Lvsitanvs teamed up with the carillon from Torre dos Clérigos in a magic bells singing. Lvsitanvs was played by Ana Elisa Carrilhão da Torre dos Clérigos by
Abel Chaves.

I come across American cellist Nick Canellakis through one of those Instagram feed showing thing you may like. It was one of his comedic reels. From there I looked into My New Cello a very amusing short film. Anyone who has a beloved instrument or finds itself with an historic one relates to this wonderful exaggeration. Go to youtube and laugh. 😀
