The Melusinas in Vistacurta, Viseu
The Melusinas at the Edge of the River will be the closing session of Vistacurta, Viseu.
The final film of the 2024 vistacurta edition has the signature of a director with a regular presence in the festival – Melanie Pereira.
As Melusinas à Margem do Rio by Melanie Pereira.
Winner of three awards in the last edition of Doclisboa, including Best Film in the Portuguese Competition, As Melusinas à Margem do Rio – a Red Desert production – returns to themes dear to Melanie Pereira: the “Melusinas” in the title are five women , born in Luxembourg to immigrant families, like the director, herself born and raised in Luxembourg, daughter of emigrants from Viseu.
To my parents (2018) and Nos Jardims do Barrocal (2019), are previous films by Melanie Pereira shown at vistacurta, before having gone through the 2021 edition to join the jury of the competitive sections. A luxury to conclude this year's vistacurta edition!
