O Silêncio
by António Loja Neves e José Alves Pereira
In December 1946, the small village of Cambedo, in the far north of Portugal on the border with Spain, was bruttaly attacked by the combinated forces of the National Republic Guard, the Fiscal Guard, the political police and members of the Spanish Civil Guard. The rapid invasion of the settlement was achieved in order to uncover and capture the members of a guerilla band. Two spanish rebels were killed and two were taken prisioner. Two officers died from the attacking forces.
The fascist censors closed a veil on the event.

Best Documentary Prize - 10ª Edição dos Encontros de Cinema Documental da Malaposta
Dozens of film makers, photographers and journalists from the four corners of the world were involved in the "revolution of the carnations", in Portugal. These foreigneirs - who possess archive material of great value to the portuguese - retain strong memories of those days. In a series of interviews with these travellers, we look at the old enthusiasm with a contemporary eye. In some cases we follow the same authors to paint a portrait of the present of the country and meet again those photographed and filmed in 1974/75.

Audience Prize - 10ª Edição dos Encontros de Cinema Documental da Malaposta
In the Minho region of Portugal, Jesus Christ and Baco are special guests in the popular festival which takes place in the Serra d'Arga valley between August 28 and 29. The mountains are filled with the voice of God and the crowd cantics. - Sacred and Profane go hand in hand. - Thousands of pelgrims have travelled a long way to fulfil their promises, to adore the saint, take part in the mess and drink a glass of "aguardente" mixed with honey.
You
entered in the Game, You have To play...
In an authentic anthill of pilgrims, hooligans, marketers, curious people,
singers, dancers and women takes place the last documentary by Pedro
Sena Nunes. "You entered in the game, you have to play,
thus in the earth as in the sky", celebrates the enchantments and the
mysteries of gratefulness and penance for the granted favours, as by the
saint, as by the aguardente (brandy) and honey, official drink of the
São João d'Arga festivities, that takes thousands of people in
pilgrimage to Serra d'Arga, in Minho, around the small
monastery, for the annual payment of its promises.
In "You entered in the game, you have to play, thus in the land as in
the sky" one attends the meeting of Jesus Christ with Baccus. The
voice of God and the chants of the crowd, feed the great
feast, carnivorous in such a way, as spirituals, confusing sacred
and profane.

“.. our look runs the 30 years of the workmanship of Palolo as
a fluid logic that tries to cover the proper logic of the pictorial
production or to perceive the points of contact with solutions
of graphical, photographic, musical and even film composition.
The direction acceptes a system of permanent contamination
able to surpass from the personal register of the producer-narrator to
the direct certification of the artist, from the sequential memoirialism of
certain parallel works to the ones of Palolo - Bravo, Lapa
or Areal - to unmask it of domestic inwards where its works are
colected, from the process of practical work of the painting (even
collecting fílms by the artist, himself) to the conception
process and assembly of the exhibit itself”.
João Pinharanda
“... Is also a rocking mine: how did painting entered
in my life, from it I moved away and, now, came back to enter by chance”.
“... They're the things that interest me now. I
like, in this film, the slightness of resouces.
“travellings” they are not perfect, the editing is hard,
the cuts are rough.”.

On the 6th of February 1969, 46 Portuguese soldiers died at the Corubal River when they returned from their quarters at Madina do Boé, which they had left on the eve by order of the Governor General of Guiné, General António de Spinola. This tragic military operation plunged the country into mourning and distressed the Portuguese troops stationed in the territory. Twenty five years later, the Commander and a Second-Lieutenant of the combat unit returned to the battle fied. At Medina do Boé - a vast desert region sreading from the south of Corubal to the hills of Futa Djalon at the foot of which the PAIGC declared the country's independence in 1973 - two officers meet the first time some Guiné's guerillas who had fought against them at the very place. It is an historical and emotive meeting paying tribute to the memory of those who died near the beautiful and quiet margins of the Corubal River helping to heal the wounds of the war.
