Carlos de Oliveira: Upon the Left Side

Carlos de Oliveira: Upon the Left Side 2007 Directed by Margarida Gil Carlos de Oliveira: Sobre o Lado Esquerdo

Carlos Oliveira's literary universe is re-enacted in a studio using the writer’s personal objects and manuscripts, and with the help of Luis Miguel Cintra and Fernando Lopes. Shot with the purpose to document his work in the same way Carlos de Oliveira documented his hometown in Gândara, the film uses all the creative liberty that new digital technology allows in order to recreate the visual and sound records that were also present in the writer and poet’s own work.
