Underscored by French film legend Delphine Seyrig’s evocative recitation of a Henri Michaux poem, Maureen Fazendeiro’s film is a mysterious, multi-textured portrait of eclipse spectators in Portugal.

影片以四季更迭的韵律穿梭时空，讲述葡萄牙阿连特茹地区的真实与虚构史诗。从失语的当下启程，溯回文字诞生前的鸿蒙岁月。途中共振着深浅交织的过往： 二战中滞留异乡的德国考古学家，借尘封档案与家书诉说乡愁；1974年四月革命后农工占据土地的浪潮；在集体记忆里流淌的古老传说。 牧羊人的鞭梢轻拂晨雾，养蜂人刈取金黄连缀成诗。暮色中的猎人、石棚群前的考古学者、千年橄榄树下的说书人，连同山麓间的师生与童谣，以记忆为经纬，以信仰作注脚，共同编织出这片深红土地上多声部的诗性政治图景——莫琳·法森代洛以复调镜头，让岩石、传说与皱纹在时光断层中永恒对话。以复调镜头，让岩石、传说与皱纹在时光断层中永恒对话。

2024 film by Miguel Gomes

The imaginative gaze of filmmaker Miguel Gomesbrings to the screen a fundamental text of Brazilian literature, Rebellion in the Backlands, Euclides da Cunha’s account of the 1897 war between the nascent Republic’s army and the native inhabitants of Canudos. This epic movie on the end of the symbiosis between humans and nature has faced major obstacles due to the complex political situation in Brazil, with a protracted pre-production phase that involves historical reconstruction of the village and close collaboration with the descendants of the Canudos. At present the production has been postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. by Daniela Persico
