"Do Gods Fly Over Godless Cities"
Meeting with the portuguese director, screenwriter and producer José Alberto Pinheiro. Link de acesso
Since the beginning of the present century, theatres all over our cities have been constantly bombarded by a seemingly endless stream of comic book super hero adaptations. What was once a niche of an entertainment form - mainly destined to children and teenagers - has suddenly hijacked our cultural landscape, not as an ephemeral fad as many expected, but as an enduring phenomena.
The interdependence between the city and the superhero figure can be traced right to its origins – one cannot exist without the other - sometimes they seem to fade away, but at the moments of greatest uncertainty and political unrest they tend to be summoned by the Polis… precisely as it happened after 9/11, when the renaissance in point starts.
This presentation aims at contributing to the understanding of what underlines the massive and global popularity of these characters, from a mythological, philosophical and historical standpoint.
