The Found Photo

During my childhood, I lived traumatic events, suffered abuse acts, which has impacted who I am forever. I often bring those moments back from the past, trying to understand the meaning, in order to stay alive. Today, I can unravel this story and I desire to tell it. But I have no picture of my childhood, nor of my family. They all have been lost or destroyed. I decided to tell my story, borrowing records from others.

The Found Photo traces the director's childhood years shortly after the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, reconstructed through an extensive library of found footage and archival material.
