And the Art21 Exclusive digital short “Abraham Cruzvillegas: Autoconstrucción” will be screened Friday, February 17 at 6pm.

The festival Filmes Sobre Arte Portugal began in 2008 as a part of the art and performance festival Temps d’Images. Each year, the festival receives more than 250 film submissions from all over the world, out of which approximately 36 films are selected to be presented at the festival.

“Autoconstucción is about self-constructing or constructing your own house. I like the term because it leads me to think about the construction of identity.”
