With a completely full room, public presentations were made of the documentary conceived by Binaural Nodar with former emigrants from the civil parish of Côta (directed by Ana Margarida Ferreira, Liliana Silva and Luís Costa), of the audiovisual work Tungsteno by Sofía Balbontín / Espacios Resonantes, a four-channel sound installation by José Bica, a performance by concertina and accordion students from the ASDRC music school in Nogueira and, finally, the wonderful documentary “António, Lindo António” by Ana Maria Gomes.
Sincere thanks to the resident artists, to the director Ana Maria Gomes, for the sympathy of her presence, to the fantastic collaboration of the ASDRC of Nogueira over two weeks, to the Cine Clube of Viseu, to the mediation support of the Civil Parish Council of Côta and, finally, to the entire community of the villages of that civil parish, for the affection and attention they dedicated to the whole team.
