Trailer for Ivo M. Ferreira’s Thriller ‘Projecto Global’ Debuts Ahead of Rotterdam Festival Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)
Ivo M. Ferreira‘s thriller “Projecto Global,” which has its world premiere in the Big Screen Competition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, has debuted its trailer (below).
The world sales rights are held by The Match Factory.
The film is set in Lisbon in the 1980s. The Carnation Revolution, which heralded Portugual’s transition to democracy, and the euphoria of freedom belong to the past. The country faces turbulent times: factories close, workers raise barricades, and politics dominates every street corner.
As social tensions deepen, the far-left armed group FP25 emerges. Its members follow a path of no return, living underground lives built on bank robberies, attacks, friendship, family, and love — all under the perpetual threat of prison or death.
As they abandon everything and everyone except each other, they begin to lose their own identities, while an officer fighting against them faces a moral dilemma of his own.
Ferreira comments: “ ‘Projecto Global’ speaks of a dream of equality from which one is forced to awaken, and of the difficulty of accepting defeat when ideas collide with reality – made up of compromises, interests, pettiness, and renunciations. We swing between the euphoria of wanting to change the world and creeping despair.”
The cast is led by Jani Zhao, Rodrigo Tomás and José Pimentão. The screenplay is by Ferreira and Hélder Beja. The producers are Luís Urbano, Sandro Aguilar and Donato Rotunno. The lead production company is O Som E A Fúria. The film is co-produced by Tarantula.
In 1998, Ferreira’s short film “O que foi” was released, and his first feature film, “Em Volta,” came out in 2002. In 2006, he received a scholarship from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to attend a screenplay writing course at the London International Film School, which led him to write and direct “Águas Mil,” screened at several film festivals in 2009.
In 2010, he released “The Foreigner and Vai com o Vento.” In 2016, he wrote and directed “Letters From War,” a feature film based on the book by António Lobo Antunes, which premiered in competition at the Berlinale. His next film, “Empire Hotel,” shot in Macau, was released in 2018.

A man was released from custody on Friday after he was charged with attempted murder for allegedly forcing a 3-year-old boy into a crocodile enclosure at a zoo.
Cambridgeshire police said that the man, who remains unidentified, wasn’t fit to be interviewed.
The boy suffered critical injuries in the incident at Johnsons of Old Hurst, a farm and zoo in Huntingdon, England, north of London.
The 30-year-old man will remain on bail until Sept. 30, pending further inquiries.

“The man, who is not known to the victim, was assessed as not being fit for interview,” police said in a statement.
The boy is in stable condition, after reportedly suffering a broken arm and pelvis.
He was saved from the crocodile by Tracey Johnson, the wife of the zoo’s owner.

“I know Tracey very well and she’s a lovely lady and it’s nothing more than I’d expect from her,” a local told BBC News. “She’d always put her own life at risk to save someone else. She’s an extraordinary lady and very brave.
The villager added that Johnson put herself in “immense danger” during the rescue.
The owners said their tropical house would remain closed until further notice.

US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his comments on Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying she asked him “over and over” for a photo when the pair met at the G7 summit in France earlier this week.

Following the summit, Trump told an Italian journalist that he “felt sorry for Meloni” after she “begged me to take a picture with her”.
Meloni hit back in a video posted to social media, branding Trump’s claims as “completely made up” and insisting that neither she nor Italy begs anyone for anything.
The once close pair’s relationship has grown increasingly fractious in recent months, particularly since Rome refused to provide the US support for its operations in Iran and after Meloni defended Pope Leo XIV, who was criticised by the Trump administration over his remarks on the war and the US’s immigration policies.
“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Saturday. “She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon”.
“Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!!” Trump added.
