Manoel De Oliveira

Manoel De Oliveira ( 1908 – 2015)

 

My special homage to our Manoel De Oliveira, who has recently died.

Portuguese film director and screenwriter, was reported to be the oldest active film director in the world (106 years) and also the only filmmaker whose active career spanned from the silent era to the digital age.

Among his numerous awards were two Career Golden Lions from the Venice and Cannes Film Festival and the French Legion of Honor.

His final film of 2014, The Old Man Of Belem (O Velho do Restelo, title in Portuguese) was premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
