An Oral Fixation explores the visual prostitution of three female characters, performed by Gaffney, and was filmed in a haunted park-keeper’s lodge. The main character, with a black plastic masked face, plays a ouija board as the two other characters appear as apparitions/hallucinations of his own sexual hysteria. “An Oral Fixation was the boldest and most accomplished entry [to the London Short Film Festival Low-Budget section], striking an intoxicating and often surrealist note somewhere between Matthew Barney, David Lynch & Gasper Noe.” - Adam Woodward, magazine editor at Little White Lies, 2012. This is your film submitted to "World of Shorts Film Contest" contest.

The top and the most important theme in the stories of mankind is love. This movie processes this archetypal topic in a surrealistic way. The meeting, the completion, the disappointment and the divorce give a frame to the film. The purport becomes more than a love story by the new formal solutions, although the happy end is at issue.

short resume: «This film is a hommage to a portuguese poet named Sebastião Alba. The hommage is built from a poem of Antonin Artaud named "The Pursuit of Fecality". The violence of the cross drawed with shit symbolizes the violence that the portuguese poet endured in his last years of life in a portuguese city marked by an intense catholicism together with a high intolerance to difference. In this case, the difference was Alba's way of life, despizing the materialist way of life of the european adopted after the 1975 revolution.» larger: «This movie was directed in order to homage the poet Sebastião Alba, through Antonin Artaud's poem "Pursuit of Fecality". In this movie we can also find poems by Alba, as well as the director, Ricardo Leite. The movie was shot entirely in Braga, where the poet lived his last years, prior to his death. The evoked cross, the cross of fecal matter, of decadence and defy is a symbol of words and images, shared by Alba, Artaud and the director. There is a cross between body and essence, fecal matter and relatives in a tragic and cruel poetic game. Sebastião Alba was born in Braga on March 11, 1940. He spends his childhood years in Torre de Dona Chama. Aged 9, he ships to Mozambique. When he is 13, enticed by his father, he stars reading various classical novels. Furthermore, he keeps on reading at his own will. When he is 21 he joins the army of Continente Geral in Boane, about 13 miles from Lourenço Marques. He flees, only to get caught and acused of smuggling military items. Aged 26 he publishes his first book – Poesias, in Quelimane. He works as a reporter and gets acquainted with the depths of Mozambique. He gets married in 1969 with Felisbela. Two daughters are born out of this wedlock, Sónia and Neide. In 1974 his brother and close friend dies in an automobile accident. That same year, his book "O Ritmo do Presságio" is released, from the collection "O som e o Sentido", in the Academical bookshop of Lourenço Marques. He teaches Political Economics as well as other subjects in a workshop organized by "Frelimo". In 1978, "A Noite Dividida" is published. In 1983 he leaves Mozambique to go back to Braga with his family. His life starts degenerating at this point, living in rental rooms, drinking, as well as not having a steady job. He gets a divorce in 1993, and his life keeps sinking. In the following year, he starts getting noticed. People start searching for him looking for and interview or just to talk to him. He is now a literary reference. He lives in shelters and in church doorsteps, walking around town, drinking and writing. October 20th 2000, he dies in a hit and run accident. Alba leaves a note to his brother saying "If someday they find your brother Dinis, he will be easy to recognize: two shoes, the clothes in his body and some sheets of paper the police won't understand."»
