Damned Summer

Damned Summer is a debut film—free-spirited, made with little, and born out of community. It is also a dizzying portrait of a generation in its youth. Over the course of a long summer following Chico (Pedro Marujo) and his friends’ graduation, we plunge into the lives of these “kids,” as they drift in search of something not entirely clear. They navigate the night tirelessly, followed by the galloping, sensory camera of cinematographer Leonor Teles.
