Director Gustavo Carreiro and the animation crew at Favo Studio in Porto, Portugal, take a whimsical peek at tourists and their foibles in the context of “an industry that is shaping entire cities and cultures in profound ways.”

Gustavo Carreiro and Favo producer Hugo Raposo: “With global tourism on the rise, “Citizen Tourist” looks at the tourist as a species with exotic and particular quirks, inviting us to look at ourselves and our group behaviors when we fill that role.

“Additionally, we try to encourage people to be able to find the joy of adventure right at their doorstep, especially in the embrace of nature, and to cultivate a curiosity that can transform the mundane into extraordinary moments that we’re often told to seek exclusively abroad, in distant cultures and lavish experiences.

“All in all, we try to remain true to the famous quote by Proust that says ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.'”
