(Dutch, English and Portuguese - Portuguese subtitles)

A documentary that spends time with Marion and Peter, a Dutch couple who lost their farm in the fire that destroyed Pedrógão Grande in the summer of 2017. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, they try to rebuild what they can, with what little they have.

Marion and Peter are a dutch couple who spent thirteen years chasing their dream: building a farm in Pedrógão Grande in Portugal. But in 2017 the controversial wildfires that broke out on the countryside ravaged their property and ruined their house. Abandoned by the government as well as by the authorities at an heartbroken village and without resources to repair the disaster, Marion and Peter try to rise their land out from the ashes while they rethink the meaning of their lives, at an age when there’s no more time nor strength to start from scratch. SOPRO is a documentary about hope and about the shared responsability of building the future.

Considered one of the most innovative violists of his generation, José Valente continues to develop an intense musical activity defined by the irreverence, virtuosity and contemporaneity of his playing and composing. Since his return from New York, the awarded violist has been exploring the limits of his instrument through the symbiosis of diverse musical styles, rarely associated with the traditional repertoire for viola, establishing consequently a unique musical voice.

With an artistic career praised by critics, the award-winning violist explores the limits of his instrument by applying in his work an intense and articulate symbiosis of musical styles, rarely associated with the traditional repertoire for the Viola. After several rich experiences as a jazz improviser and musician, he was a soloist at Carnegie Hall at the invitation of Paquito D'Rivera, played with some of the greatest figures of international jazz such as Dave Douglas, Joshua Redman or Don Byron, and frequently collaborates with the Galician pianist Alberto Conde.
 

Special participation Slam das Minas

Slam das Minas was challenged to let go of its familiar urban stage of intervention and explore new ears elsewhere, equally existing but often ignored. Joining the composer and violist, José Valente, they will try to give new experiences to the texts, which will now be heard not in the claustrophobic chaotic environment of the city, but in the unlikely and intimate interior of the village of Espinhal and the village of Chanca. It is the first time that the collective has ventured into the countryside.

Slam das Minas is dedicated to the creation of activities such as writing workshops, soirees and Slams (authorship poetry battles, lasting up to three minutes and without resources: the poet must use only her body and voice, where men are invited to be in a listening place that is unusual for them). For now, it is the first Slam collective composed of women in Portugal.
