Before telling a story, we listen.
Ânimo Leve is an audiovisual production company dedicated to creating content that not only informs but also inspires and brings people closer together. With a strong commitment to quality, we work to transform ideas into visual stories that resonate with depth and purpose.
HISTORY
Ânimo Leve was founded in 2008 with the mission of transforming ideas into visual stories that move and inspire. From the very beginning, the company has stood out for producing cinematic documentaries and institutional films that capture the essence of human experiences, reflecting the cultural and social diversity of our world.
Over the past 15 years, Ânimo Leve has produced a series of impactful documentaries and collaborated with some of the most prominent cultural and social institutions in Portugal. Among our most notable works are the documentaries “Intervalo” (2012), which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Gulbenkian Orchestra, “Op.ção” (2015), and “Vizinhos” (2009), selected for the Doclisboa and Panorama festivals. These projects not only enhanced our reputation but also reaffirmed our commitment to quality and narrative depth.
In addition to documentaries, Ânimo Leve has contributed significantly to the institutional sector, producing videos and films for brands and organizations such as Auchan, Helexia, Esporão, NAV Portugal, IRN, and the Ministry of Justice. Our collaboration with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is also an important milestone in our trajectory, where we have developed educational videos, mini-documentaries and other audiovisual content for social programs and exhibitions.
Ânimo Leve goes beyond traditional production. We have expanded our work into the fields of video art and VJing, with standout projects such as the closing concert for Portugal Day at Expo Dubai 2021 and the farewell tour of guitarist António Chainho, which culminated in a grand concert at the CCB in November 2023.
In every project we take on, we maintain a clear purpose: to add something positive to the world. We take our work very seriously, but with a light and optimistic approach — because we believe the world needs both: seriousness and lightness.
MISSION
Ânimo Leve is an audiovisual production company dedicated to creating content that transcends the ordinary, telling stories that inspire, inform, and connect. With a human and aesthetic approach guided by integrity, creativity, and empathy, we focus on understanding and addressing our clients’ needs, delivering projects that resonate with the spirit and stimulate critical thinking. More than striving to be a reference, our mission is to support our clients through works that reflect quality, depth, and a higher purpose, contributing to a more conscious and connected world.
VALUES AND PHILOSOPHY
INTEGRITY
Each project is approached with clarity and transparency, ensuring that the results meet our clients’ expectations.
CREATIVITY
We value lateral thinking to uncover new forms, dimensions, and subtexts to tell the story that matters.
EMPATHY
Before filming, we seek a deep understanding of human experiences, creating a genuine emotional connection with the audience. Only then do we say, “Sound, Lights, Camera, Action!”
AESTHETICS
We take care of every detail, ensuring the final result is visually striking and artistically refined.
PURPOSE
A gesture is not just a gesture. There is always something beyond images and words. We want our films to inspire, transform and leave seeds for a better world.
