STILL LIFE by Susana de Sousa Dias

Documentary, 72’, 2005
Amip co-production with Arte France "La Lucarne"

  • Within an image, another one is always hiding. Using only archive footage and without words, Still Life aims to rediscover and delve into the opacity of images made during the 48 years (1926-1974) of Portuguese dictatorship (news, war footage, propaganda documentaries, photos of political prisoners and also previously never seen rushes) in order to foster new interpretations.
