In order to think about current practices of political dissidence, we dive into the past and into the experience of a young artist. Invited to go clandestine in Portugal in the second half of the 20th century, Margarida Tengarrinha played an important role in the antifascist resistance, becoming a document forger for political militancy reasons. Through temporal anachronism, CLANDESTINA is like a letter to a time to come, a premonition of the tragic possibility that history is repeating itself.

Phuong Le Guardian The visuals are unmoored with few indications to what contemporary activists in Portugal are organising against. As a result, the onscreen activists are strangely entombed in abstraction, like rebels without a cause. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Maes Kerr Little White Lies Tengarrinha’s emotions are portrayed through the combination of realism and surrealism – but this ultimately comes across as disconnected due to the lack of political contextualisation, leaving an emotional weight missing from the film.
