Director: Vasco Diogo

Film: Old New Age

Bio: Old New Age is a comic experimental film that was made using only a mobile phone and several apps, including Artificial Intelligence. As in previous mobile phone films by Vasco Diogo, its single images were first posted on Instagram and then edited by free association, as in a day dream. The self-portraits of Vasco Diogo himself connect the flux of different styles and techniques that have their main origin in mobile photography.

Vasco Diogo was born in Lisbon in 1970. He has a degree in Sociology by Universidade Nova de Lisboa, a master degree in social sciences by Universidade de Lisboa and a PhD in Communication Sciences by Universidade Nova de Lisboa, with the thesis: “Video: specificity, hybridity and experimentation”(scholarship by FCT, 2008).

From 2008 to 2020 he was a professor at University of Beira Interior teaching mainly cinema directing, new cinemas and experimental cinema.

After being co-founder of Projecto Teatral, works, since 1998 in performance, video art and experimental cinema around themes such as self-presentation, truth and manipulation. In experimental cinema he has won several international awards (more than 70), specially with the film: “anexperimentalviralvlog – the movie remix # !”. He has shown his works in several exhibitions and festivals in Portugal, Spain, Italy, USA, Canada, India, Germany, France, Cyprus, Poland, etc.
