SCREENING WITH Q&A

That Unique Gaze of Yours

Two women share the same space, in another time. As we contemplate the gaze of both, a question arises: why is one of them probably the most well-known Portuguese woman in the world, while the other has been almost erased from our history and collective memory? In this film-poem, I summon an image in an attempt to decipher the enigmatic gaze of filmmaker Bárbara Virgínia.

The Old Salazar

On the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, I made a documentary about Álvaro Cunhal. Now, on the centenary of the 1926 military coup, it seemed only fitting to make one about Salazar. Conceived as a diptych, the film brings together figures such as the housekeeper, the cardinal, the minister of propaganda, the nurse, and the shoeshiner, who—through their memories—recount stories we all believed had not been forgotten.
