1931 - Portugal - Noir & Blanc - 18'
This documentary emerged in the period of the transition between the silent era of film and sound cinematography and is an exercise in the possibilities of film expression. It introduces a working town, its bridges, narrow streets, and the ships transported along an eternal river. This avant-garde elegy, Douro, faina fluvial, ranks among the works of Walter Ruttmann, Jean Vigo, Dziga Vertov and Joris Ivens.
