Director Biography - Kah Abrantes

Kah (Carina) Abrantes is a Portuguese-based filmmaker born in 2003. With a bachelor's degree in "Digital Games and Multimedia" from Polytechnic of Leiria, Abrantes has a diverse portfolio in the two artistic fields of games and cinema.
Despite her short career, she has already directed and written a few short-films. A stand out from her portfolio is "Lembrança do que uma vez foste", an animation about the inevitable change in human connections over time, portraited by an affectionate relationship between a granddaughter and her grandfather; "Para a minha avó Fernanda", a documentary about her grandmother; and "Serenidade Campestre", a visual essay on rural life.
In addition to that, she has also created several titles as a Game Designer and Game Writer. Some of her work was recognized by PlayStation and IndieDB : "Entrudo", a rhythm game for PC (finalist in the PlayStation® Talents Awards, 2022 and winner in the IndieDB's Top 10 Player's Choice, 2022); and "Nata", a Macao-based adventure for PC (finalist in the Spotlight awards).

Director Statement

"Sinto saudades do que ainda não partiu." - I miss what I haven't lost yet.
Do you know the feeling when you realize that you're living the best years of your life right in that exact moment? In my opinion, it is a bittersweet feeling. The mixture between missing out what is still there and fearing that you're not enjoying it at its fullest can be difficult to handle.
That's basically what this film is about: preserving the memories that I was so afraid to miss and handling the "saudades" that they evoke in me.
