Lucefece: Where there is no vision, the people will perish in Centro Cultural do Sardoal

LUCEFECE, BY RICARDO LEITE, IN SARDOAL, GIL VICENTE CULTURAL CENTER NEXT OCTOBER 2 | AT 21H30 WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE DIRECTOR

After presenting the beautiful *As Maçãs Azuis* (The Blue Apples), Ricardo Leite returns this year with a new feature film, *Lucefece*. Entirely shot on film over the past 20 years, the film was developed by hand by the director himself. This is an essay-film where the personal and collective, the political and intimate, are intertwined. Ricardo Leite draws on his childhood memories and intertwines them with conversations with his father, a former soldier in the colonial war, who was later imprisoned. It is an autobiographical dive into the past and a portrait of a country haunted by the ghosts of war.

At Porto/Post/Doc - in the Cinema Falado category - the Portuguese Society of Authors awarded the film *Lucefece: Where there is no vision, the people will perish* by Porto-native Ricardo Leite. *Lucefece* presents itself as an autobiographical documentary exploring the dark past of the Colonial War. For the jury, it stands out for its "originality" and the emotion conveyed through "handmade images."
