Lucefece - Where there is no vision, the people will perish. None of this would be possible without the production of Eloy Enciso, the mixes by Mauricio d'Orey, the poster by André Coelho, the music by Boiar, André, Furthers and João Ricardo OCP, the support of Ana Sofia Maia and the ever-present Paulo Carvalho Santos, Luisa Neves and Margarida and the many friends who, in some way, accompanied a filming and editing that lasted more than twenty years.
As Melusinas à Margem do Rio. Melanie's first feature film, the editing is by Tomás Baltazar, the sound by Ricardo Leite, the production direction was shared with Liliana S. Lasprilla, the mixes are also by Maurício, the poster by Menina Camarada and the it was also possible because of Luís and São’s love and the characters that appear in the film. We are also very grateful to Joaquim Guilherme Blanc and Mário Gomes who, through Filmaporto, made the projects possible, as well as to ICA and RTP. Come by, if you're there, we'll be very happy.
