On Tuesday, 5 May 2026, the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universidade de Lisboa will host a public talk by the award-winning filmmaker and visual artist Gabriel Abrantes. This event is part of the tenth edition of the Human Entities: culture in the age of artificial intelligence public talk programme.
During the session, Abrantes will engage in a conversation with 'Ratzo', described as an internet-bred rodent, to critically explore the 'post-enshittification' era. The presentation will be conducted in English and will conclude with a Q&A session open to all attendees.

His films have premiered in competition at major international festivals, including Cannes, the Berlinale, Venice, and Locarno. Notably, his 2018 film Diamantino, co-directed with Daniel Schmidt, was awarded the Grand Prix at the Semaine de la Critique in Cannes.
