Sandro Aguilar’s last short, VOODOO, is in Competition at IndieLisboa where it will be screened on April the 24th (6 pm, Culturgest), the 25th (4.15 pm, São Jorge), and the 30th (4.15 pm, São Jorge).

VOODOO is also the only Portuguese selected short at Oberhausen Short Films Festival, Germany. It is considered one of the oldest in the world and directors as Werner Herzog, George Lucas Martin Scorsese and Wim Wenders have participated in that festival.

VOODOO, with Albâno Jerónimo and Isabel Abreu, is based on the following statement: All sympathetic magic is based upon two principles: the first called the Law of Similarity says that “likes produce likes,” or that an effect resembles its cause; the second, called the law of contagion or contact says that all things having been in contact with each other continue to react upon one and another at a distance even after they have been severed or disconnected. A fearful man meets a disquiet woman. Do you believe in magic?
