Captüra Filmes promises to bring more challenging, thought-provoking work for 2009.
We will open the year with the double release of two music videos for Sieben – Virgin In The Green and Lucifer On The Moor – ahead of the release of both the album As They Should Sound and the digitally re-mastered DVD edition of the original Antlers of Reason.
Visit http://antlersofreason.blogspot.com/ for more information.
Next year will also see the completion of the remaining films of the Thalus Trilogy –
Antlers of Reason II: Morning Interim and Antlers of Reason III: Nether Edge Temptress; and keep an eye out for Frontier Media news, particularly the documentary Beyond Climate Change - http://beyondclimatechangedocumentary.blogspot.com/
Another highlight of 2009 will be the release of the eagerly-anticipated Torpor Revisitado, the third and final preview of which can be watched right here.
We wish you all a Happy New Year.

A Tribute To Pinter
Harold Pinter's death has been announced today - Christmas Day. Captüra Filmes wishes to pay tribute to this ground-breaking figure of Theatre.
"There is no doubt that Pinter's legacy in terms of his work for the stage will be a lasting one - words and silence had never filled the air in such a simultaneously rich and abstract fashion before. But it's the work he did for the big screen (and which punctuated his prolific career) that made the most profound impression on me. His screenplays are the best examples of economy and precision - whether he's adapting an existing work (The Comfort of Strangers) or writing from his own creative impulse (The Servant, Accident).
Personally, I believe his finest hour falls into the former category: The Proust Screenplay - A la recherche du temps perdu.
It not just distills all the volumes of Marcel Proust's own lengthy masterpiece into the concisest of scripts, but also presents you with a remarkable understanding of film language, weaving time and space (and memory and desire) together in the most perfectly imaginable way. A script, which unfolds a possibility of what Cinema can and should be, yet was never made into a film..." - João Paulo Simões, Filmmaker;
