Filmmaker Catarina De Cèzanne, originally from Moita, continues to solidify her cinematic career. One year after the premiere of "After Link" at festivals like MOTELX and FEST, the horror work has now been nominated for the Parmo D'Or at the Tees Valley International Film Festival.
This nomination represents a new milestone for the film and marks its first screening in Northern England, a region where the filmmaker currently resides. "After Link" will be presented this Friday, November 13th, at 8:00 PM (Portugal time), at the ARC Stockton Arts Centre, in Stockton-on-Tees, in a session featuring the films nominated for this distinction.
Since its debut, the short film has been selected for over 50 international festivals, including the Revelation Perth International Film Festival in Australia and festivals associated with the FANTLATAM Alliance in Chile. Most recently, it received the award for Best Screenplay at The Cyprus Horror Society in Cyprus, reinforcing the international recognition of the work developed by Catarina De Cèzanne and her team.
Concurrently, Catarina De Cèzanne is co-organizing the Gateshead International Film Festival, where she serves as programming director. The inaugural edition will take place from July 16th to 18th, 2027, at the Vue Cinema in Gateshead, near Newcastle, featuring an international film program, including horror shorts. The project has already garnered interest from local media, with the team being interviewed by BBC Look North.
From Moita to the world, Catarina De Cèzanne continues to carry the talent, creativity, and culture of her municipality beyond borders, projecting the name of her hometown onto the international film scene.
