Amadeo was not only a great painter but also a total artist. Trapped by the country where he was born, by the time of destruction in which he lived and by himself, he had a short life and the international recognition that few Portuguese artists could have had was not assented to him.

PERPETUAL MOVEMENTS – A TRIBUTE TO CARLOS PAREDES

Experimental
Portugal , 2006, 70', 35mm
Director: Edgar Pêra

A documentary in 17 movements, in which testimonies and the guitar define the genius, the bravery and the modesty of Carlos Paredes. A dialog between a guitar and a Super8 camera, in an aesthetic which evocates the memory of old family pictures, full of intimacy, revealed in the sharing of simple stories of life. The Carlos’s Paredes’s concert in Auditório Carlos Alberto, in Oporto, 1984, is the starting point for the unfolding of prison stories, resistance, success and amateurism, stories marked by simplicity and passion.
