Ossos (English: "Bones") is a 1997 Portuguese film directed by Pedro Costa.
The film was shot in the Fontainhas district of Lisbon (also known as "Estrela d'Africa"), where disadvantaged dwellers and immigrants from former Portuguese colonies in Africa live desperate lives.
This drama film with some documentary elements made Pedro Costa acclaimed internationally. It was nominated for Golden Lion and won the best cinematography (Golden Osella) at the Venice International Film Festival in 1997.
He further dealt with the now-defunct shanty district in his next two films, In Vanda's Room (2000) and Colossal Youth (2006).
