Fernando Pessa

This short film, probably commissioned by the Hidro-Eléctrica do Cávado, shows several aspects of the dams’ network construction in that hydrographic basin, with a commentary read by Fernando Pessa. “Do céu ao rio” was premiered at the Odéon cinema in Lisbon, on January 29, in 1964, but it is in a more fragile heritage situation since its original image negative is not located.

The film exhibited the community and the beach, "how I new and it was shown to me" (Manoel de Oliveira) by the Meneres family, that had a house in Miramar. The film is currently lost.

Reflecting the filmmaker's passion for automobiles, who in his youth participated in car races, the film portrays the attempt to manufacture a new model in the Ford factory in the city of Porto.

A series of images documenting the floods of the river Tagus. This film has been recovered and made available by the Cinemateca Portuguesa.
