Semanas de areia, meses de cinza, anos de pó
Weeks of Sand, Months of Ash, Years of Dust
Rita Macedo
This is a film about retrospection. Rita Macedo looks at whether film can change perspectives, and links a personal narrative to a colonial story and a re-evaluation of past events. Set partly in Macau, the director asks how the city’s colonial history is visible, or rather, where it is not visible. Once the home of the film-maker, the history of the city is also interwoven with the story of her mother.
