In 1996, filmmaker André Luiz Oliveira started preproduction of Viva o Povo Brasileiro, a film adaptation of the novel by João Ubaldo Ribeiro. Principal photography went on for nine years, but the production was shut down after a series of unfortunate events. This documentary retells that story, repurposing the fictional footage and chronicling the work both in front and behind the scenes.

O Outro Lado da Memória

The documentary addresses the project, which took 30 years to complete, about the recording of 44 songs created for each poem in Mensagem, one of Fernando Pessoa's most emblematic books.
