Alentejo Late Afternoon
Desert, mythical, twilight. This visual contemplation is a kind of silent western about life in the landscape of Alentejo, a remote town in Portugal. Using Alentejo’s landscape as the canvas and the camera as an instrument for the expression of an original look, a cinematographic structure is created around references to the history of cinema, a revisiting of forms, styles and models that made the cinema and its more direct antecedents: photography, painting, music, theater.
