SUPER NATURAL is a transcendent experience occurring outside of the body, of all bodies, but particularly of one’s own. It is like a super-power and, in this movement, it focuses on the image, a sensitive existence one intends to speak with. That is why this film aspires, in a speculative gesture, to activate an effect, a hypothetical relaxation, a sensory experience for those who are off the screen as if they were on it.

SUPER NATURAL is a film that talks and listens, that interferes and seeks out those who are beholding it. Its desire is to abandon the screen, to take a look at those who look at it, and listen to them, but also to be smelled and seen beyond what is being seen.

Jorge Jácome is a filmmaker and artist based in Lisbon. He was born in Viana do Castelo/Portugal in 1988 and grew up in Macau. He graduated in Direction and Edition at the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema in Lisbon and holds a post-graduation at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains in Tourcoing/France. His films have been shown in festivals and exhibition contexts. Parallel to his work as a filmmaker he works as an editor of projects by other filmmakers and regularly collaborates in performing arts projects.
