Drifts (film)
Drifts (Derivas) is a Portuguese feature-length film by Ricardo Costa (autobiography, comedy, docufiction, metafiction, experimental film[1][2]). The film is set in Lisbon, city which it portrays. It is the second independent film from an autobiographical sequel trilogy on Time and human wanderings.[3][4]
Mists, the first film of the trilogy, opened at the Venice Film Festival in 2003 and released in New York at the Quad Cinema in 2011.[5] The third and last film of the sequel is Cliffs (Arribas), in which the protagonist goes back to his homeland via time travel.[6] There he will face disquieting situations and puzzling characters.[7]
