Experiencing Interruptions?

Courage of Lassie

It portrays the universe of Ana Jotta, a portuguese artist, where you feel the trail of a pop sensation as someone says in the film. Jotta at work, in the studio, and during the assembly of one of her exhibitions, and also filmed commenting on the spirit of the same work, which is not seen exclusively from the perspective of the first person. The film takes the title of an individual exhibition of Ana Jotta realized in 1988, in Lisbon.
