Ossos 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. The film was nominated for the Golden Lion and won for Best Cinematography (Golden Osella) at the Venice International Film Festival in 1997.
