Heritales @ Fraschetta Blues (27 Dicember 2018)

Supper for the Dead Souls

“…The dead souls enter into homes at midnight, passing around the laden tables, departing afterwards satiated only by the aroma of the food. If, instead no dish has been prepared the dead leave accompanied by heavy sighing…”
It is still alive in Sardinia the ancient habit of leaving served on the table, on the night between 1st and 2nd November, a supper for their own dead, consisting of a full meal characterized by sos macarrones de sos mortos (the macaroni of the dead).
Filmed in Orune, in central Sardinia, this documentary – with an observational approach – describes the preparation of the banquet and some connected rituals.

HERITALES @ Casa da América Latina – Lisbon (3d of October 2018)

The Sound of Bells + Lecture

Honorable Mention Heritales – Short Documentary 2017

In Minas Gerais, Brazil, bell sounds set the pace of life of the residents of the historic cities, announcing time for work, rest, pray, and celebrate. Over 40 different bell rings are known in the region, and were nominated as Brazilian Intangible Cultural Heritage. The bell ringers, characters from the top of the towers, are known to have transformed bell rings over the centuries from their colonial origins and have mixed them with the strong African heritage in Brazil. The documentary is a poetic representation of religious experience in everyday life. The feature film The Sound of Bells is part of an expanded documentary project, which is pioneering the use of new media for the dissemination of the intangible heritage. Digital technology can support increased appreciation of cultural heritage, strengthen dialogue and understanding among cultures. How do younger generations react, interact or create new ways to express their cultural heritage? The project works with the combination of memory and new technologies, sound mapping and community engagement through a transmedia production that includes an online multimedia platform with sound cartography and innovative content, an interactive documentary, audiovisual public interventions on churches facades and an award-winning audio guide app for mobile devices.

HERITALES @ Ajuda, Lisbon (28 of July 2018)

Cine-Event ‘Bijagó

“Sculpting the Spirits” is a journey off the West coast of Africa exploring how the magical world of the Bijagós people is threatened by the generational changes happening in their society.
The strange and close relationship that the Bijagós have with spirits and nature defines the matrilineal structure of their society and informs every decision taken by the community. However modernity and Christianity are now spreading across the islands, developing new needs based on money, luring young people away from their traditions.
Banca, a famous sculptor of spirits, feeling tired, old and worried for the future of a culture in profound transformation, does his last sculpture instructing his son in the hope he will take over.
Guided by a storyteller and our characters’ voice “Sculpting the Spirits” is not only a journey exploring how Bijagós women have special powers to embody spirits while men can only sculpt them but is also the link between spiritual beliefs and the survival of a community.

HERITALES @ EarthFest (Sunday 22nd of April 2018)

Cine-Debate: ‘Bondança’

HERITALES brings to EARTHfest 2018 the documentary ‘Bondança’ (Abundance).

Directed by Manuela Barile, with research by Luis Costa and Manuela Barile and local mediation by Isabel Silvestre, ‘Bondança’ is  an almost wordless documentary about the yearly celebration of corn in a tiny rural village of the municipality of São Pedro do Sul (Viseu Dão Lafões Region), from its seeding to the making of corn bread, intertwined with many of the local female polyphonic chanting.
The presentation of the films and moderation of the debate will be in charge of Nicola Schiavottiello, with online guests Luis Costa and Manuela Barile.

Manuela BarileManuela Barile

Manuela is an Italian artist living and working in the Portuguese rural area of Lafões since 2006. There, she has been developing place-based projects in close contact with local communities, taking into account specific aspects of the territory such as tradition, memory, community architecture and history, and symbols and rituals deposited as indelible signs in the ground. Her works combine sound and visual anthropology, documentary, video art, performance art and vocal performance. They address intimate issues such as death, pain, happiness, work, and religiosity. The artist conceives her art as a continuous investigation and reflection on reality, on being in the world, on her personal experience. As a singer, she has undertaken a personal journey of vocal experimentation applied to free improvisation and based on “extended vocal techniques” focused on the relationship between voice, body, soundscape and acoustic properties of places. Manuela Barile is Director of Binaural/Nodar, a Portuguese cultural organization dedicated to the promotion of sound and media arts in a rural context. Her audiovisual works have been shown in festivals worldwide, such as the Australian International Experimental Film Festival, Cologne OFF, Optica, Videoholica, and the Camden International Film Festival (US).
