Zé Pedro, Henrique Amaro
Zé Pedro, the legendary guitar player of Xutos e Pontapés, is the greatest name in Portuguese rock ‘n’ roll. He was its main driving force, not only as the founding guitar player of the greatest Portuguese band ever, but also by promoting the genre as a music critic, radio broadcaster and owner of Johnny Guitar, a mythic club and concert hall in Lisbon where so many bands took their first steps.

A Palestra

An American writer visits the old Portuguese town of Guimarães for a lecture on the work of Edgar Allan Poe. What would seem like a nice little trip goes terrible wrong when his own paranoia takes over the events that follow... or maybe not.

This film celebrates the 70th anniversary of Celeste Rodrigues’ career as a fado singer. It is an intimate and sincere portrait of the artist, narrated in first person and driven by the fondness of the director, her grandson. The archive images reveal the modernity of her fado style. With 59 albums recorded, Amália’s younger sister, now 94, continues to sing and make fado a living force.
