STORYLINE
Fascinated by the Fontainhas neighbourhood, Pedro Costa filmed the inhabitants of this shantytown every day.
For him, his work and this neighbourhood are inextricably linked. Taking advantage of this latest feature film shot in Libson, (En avant, Jeunesse), Aurélien Gerbault became a witness rather than an investigator : We are invited to witness a secret craftsmanship, an art of concentration, through sound takes, text rehearsals, incessant choices between different, subtle and difficult-to-decide-on shots.
The true nature of filming is revealed : an intimate space with the harshness of reality.

QUOTE FROM JEAN-PIERRE REHN
A filmed portrait of Pedro Costa, one of the most decisive young contemporary filmmakers. His perspective is to catch the artist at work, in the way Costa had himself chosen to do in his film on the Straubs. Taking advantage of the latest feature film shot in Libson, En avant, Jeunesse, Aurélien Gerbault became a witness rather than an investigator. Instead of the over-abundant, dramatised and verbose “making of” films, the heart of filmmaking comes across here. We are invited to witness a secret craftsmanship, an art of concentration, through sound takes, text rehearsals, incessant choices between different, subtle and difficult-to-decide-on shots. The true nature of filming is revealed – an intimate space with the harshness of reality. And it is here that the filmmaker’s rare comments take on their full meaning, harking back in all legitimacy to his older works.
