"Volta à Terra"
Presented by João Pedro Queirog, Graduate student MFA Documentary Media
"A community of subsistence farmers in a mountainous village of northern Portugal is endangered. The younger generation is leaving the village for cities and there is a lack of interest in what is seen as an antiquated pursuit. Caught between the evocation of the past and their uncertain future, the film follows the 49 inhabitants of this rural community through four seasons. Among them is António, a former emigrant who fulfilled his dream of returning home, who prepares the village festivities for the coming summer, and Daniel, young shepherd who dreams of love at dusk".
Winner of the Gold Hugo award for best documentary at the 2015 Chicago International Film Festival.
