Pocs mesos després, els seus pares es traslladen a Àustria, on va viure fins als 10 anys, immersa en el món de la música clàssica. Quan retorna a Portugal s’apassiona per la música brasilera, el jazz i descobreix el pop. Als 15 anys debuta com a actriu en el paper protagonista de la pel·lícula Silvestre de João César Monteiro. A partir d’aleshores comença a aparèixer a un costat i altre de la càmera. Ha comptabilitzat més de 100 pel·lícules, com Pulp Fiction de Quentin Tarantino, Henry and June de Philip Kaufman o Airbag de Juanma Bajo Ulloa. L’any 2006 crea un musical per a teatre titulat A little more Blue , un homenatge a la música brasilera dels anys 70. Aquest espectacle es va plasmar en el seu primer disc i va ser presentat a països com Espanya, Portugal, Itàlia, Brasil, Angola o Moçambic. El seguí London, London, un musical sobre l’exili a Londres de Caetano Veloso i Gilberto Gil. També, Musique et Révolution , creat juntament amb el músic francès Stephan Sanseverino, en homenatge a les cançons de Maig del 68. L’any 2009, fruit de la gira del seu primer àlbum, publica Penínsulas & Continentes , el seu segon treball discogràfic. Un viatge entre les penínsules llatines d’Europa i els continents d’Amèrica i Àfrica. Participa a l’espectacle i disc Rendez-vous chez Nino Rota amb l’italià Mauro Gioia i artistes com Martirio, Sharleen Spiteri, Susana Rinaldi, Ute Lemper i Adriana Calcanhotto. A Itàlia, amb Mauro Gioia, crea l’espectacle Cabaret Social Songs . L’any 2010 comença a compondre i escriure les seves pròpies cançons, i convida artistes amb els quals s’ha anat trobant a les gires. Un d’ells és The Legendary Tigerman, amb qui col·labora al seu àlbum Femina . Posteriorment van crear junts a París l’espectacle It’s a sad and beautiful world - Tribute to Jim Jarmusch.

  • With Comments About 2002)
    Steve’s Film Festival Reviews for 2003 (With Comments About 2002) By Steve Munro Ratings !#%?$ An appalling piece of junk (new rating this year) 0 I walked out (rating unused in 2003) * I stayed to the bitter end (but probably shouldn’t have) ** Maybe worth seeing once *** Recommended **** First rate ***** Best of the festival The reviews are arranged in the order of viewing. Festival Main Title The main title gets more boring every year. All of the Festival posters this year have someone holding a film frame in front of them through which one can see the background. This image is transferred to the screen with a woman on a long wooden bridge whose rails and posts suggest/become frames on a film. By the second day, I was seriously bored with this, and astounded that the Festival has only prints of this with overexposed and out of focus titles. The only time I saw it properly was at digital projections. Universal Studios’ salute to the volunteers, on the other hand, was always warmly received even though it’s seen over and over again because the audience really appreciates the work the volunteers (and the Festival staff) do to make this whole thing possible. People’s Choice Trailer AGF has three trailers and one poster this year, all based on the concept that a character is trapped in a job other than his/her true desire. · The Poster: A teacher who would rather be in the movies has Dick, Jane and Spot in screenplay format on her blackboard. · A Private Eye really wants to be a director/cinematographer, and critiques his surveillance of a tryst while, presumably, the tearful husband watches on a camcorder’s monitor.

  • Dossier De Premsa María De Medeiros
    DOSSIER DE PREMSA MARÍA DE MEDEIROS EN CONCERT A L’AUDITORI DINS EL FESTIVAL BARNASANTS Divendres 26 de març de 2010 – 21h Sala 2 Oriol Martorell MARÍA DE MEDEIROS Presentació del disc: Penínsulas & Continentes Divendres, 26 de març de 2010 – 21h Sala 2 – Oriol Martorell Preu: 22€ El 2007, amb el disc “A little more blue”, varem descobrir una nova faceta de l’actriu i directora portuguesa María de Medeiros. El talent interpretatiu que havia demostrat a nombroses produccions teatrals i cinematogràfiques –“Pulp Fiction”, “Henry & June”, “Huevos de Oro”, “Airbag”…– es va posar al servei de la música per retre un sentit homenatge a artistes brasilers com Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso i Gilberto Gil, que van fer front a la dictadura militar del seu país a base de geni poètic i esperit de resistència. Gràcies a aquest disc debut, Medeiros va viatjar per Europa, Sud-Amèrica i Àfrica liderant un esplèndid trio de jazz i va poder col·laborar amb músics dels països visitats i descobrir nous repertoris. D’aquestes trobades ha nascut el segon disc de la cantant, “Penínsulas & Continentes”, un viatge musical que ens fa evidents els intercanvis i lligams que hi ha hagut al llarg de la història entre els tres continents. Aquest treball demostra com la distància entre el poema d’un trobador medieval, un lament angoleny en kimbundo i una cançó del genial poeta xilè Víctor Jara no és tan abismal com pot semblar a primera vista. Intèrprets: Veu: María de Medeiros Piano: Pascal Salmon Violoncel: Manuel Martínez del Fresno Baix: Ricardo Feijao Bateria: Donald Edwards www.mariademedeiros.net Amb el suport de: 2 MARÍA DE MEDEIROS PENÍNSULAS & CONTINENTES “Penínsulas & Continentes” es un viaje musical entre las Penínsulas Ibérica e Itálica y los Continentes Americano y Africano.

Unable to find another to replace it, life without music seems intolerable. He stays in bed and slips further and further into his reveries from his youth to his own children’s futures. Over the course of the week that follows, and as the pieces of this captivating story fall into place, we understand his poignant secret and the profundity of his decision to give up life for music and love. Interview with Marjane Satrapi Was it an easy choice for you, after Persepolis, not to make another animated film? Yes. The most interesting thing in any artistic project is rising to a challenge and doing things you’re yet to do and don’t know how to do.
