The unpublished Portuguese-language novella “Otomana” was written by João Paulo Simões eleven years ago in Lisbon and has been regarded by the selected few who have read it as the blueprint of all of the author’s subsequent film work.
Recently salvaged, the text has been attracting the interest of various artists, including photographer/graphic artist Miss Bliss, leading to the commission of illustrations for it.
The first sections of the book are also now being recorded - an ongoing project that will employ vocal talents of previous Captüra Filmes collaborators.
