The documentaries Herdeiros de Saramago, created by Carlos Vaz Marques, are dedicated to the writers that won the Saramago literary prize. In this session we will see four of these films, about the career and life of João Tordo, Adriana Lisboa, Paulo José Miranda and Ondjaki. The delicate and detailed attentive gaze of Graça Castanheira’s direction allows us to enter in the daily life of these artists, while travelling from the written words to the spoken ones.
