    And the earth was without form : visual effects and wonder in terrence malick's voyage of time (2016)
    (Lusofona University, 2018) Poch, Chantal; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    Terrence Malick’s Voyage of Time puts the latest technology into the search for the oldest images we can think about, those of our origin. Taking this paradox as a starting point, we will explore precedents of visual effects in science documentaries and their role in Malick’s particular quest for wonder. Are VFX capable of truth?

    J. A. Bayona's ecstatic truth
    (Lusofona University, 2018) López Díez, Jaime; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    The aim of this study is to seek the ecstatic truth that lies in the Spanish filmmaker, J. A. Bayona. In order to do so we have analyzed his four films, The Orphanage (2007), The Impossible (2012), A Monster Calls (2016), and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), as well as the first episode of the television series Penny Dreadful (2014). Our perspective has been a psychological one. Bayona defines his first three films as a trilogy on the mother-child relationship and death. Thus, we have studied his films from the point of view of Freud’s theory of the unconscious and the primal scene. Our research shows that Bayona’s films may be failing in trying to deal with two unconscious conflicts: 1) his need to detach from an archaic mother figure; and 2) his need to get rid of the anguish caused by the possibility of not being born, which is also related to the first conflict.
