Release of Gabriel Azorín’s debut film

Overview

Gabriel Azorín’s directorial debut, ‘Anoche conquisté Tebas’, explores themes of masculinity and temporal connection by juxtaposing contemporary Portuguese youths with Roman soldiers at the Roman baths of Bande in Ourense. The film, which has been recognized at the Venice Film Festival and Seminci, utilizes an atmospheric, slow-cinema style to bridge two millennia of human experience.

Azorín has noted that the project was inspired by the historical continuity of the Baños de Bande. To achieve a timeless quality and blur the lines between the present and the past, the production utilized light-sensitive cameras and removed modern elements from the footage.
