The documentary Tarrafal, directed by Pedro Neves and produced by Red Desert, is going to be screened this week in Cinetaca - Matadero, in Madrid, Spain.
After its screening at the Seville European Film Festival and CPH(Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival), we premiere in Madrid the latest work by Pedro Neves, Tarrafal, a poetic testimony about the end of the most troubled neighborhood in Porto, a symbol of the last days of Salazar's dictatorship, and about those who were its inhabitants, survivors of an economic system that decided to discard them.
