Breaking the night

Imagining the night and the sea. And the windows that inhabit them. Trying to discern the breathing of the island and the gaze of the people who walk on it. Also the shadows that remain in the palm of your hand and the others that can be seen through the luminous curtains. Is the dream in the gentleness of the houses? In the depths of the sea? Or even in the fold of the chest that shelters the night?

Director Biography - Gustavo Adolfo de Sousa Rodrigues Fernandes

Born in the basalt lap of the island of Madeira, his breath of life came from the winds, Atlantic currents, arms and affections of the island of Pico, Azores.
He was trained in the rigors of computer engineering and deserts these formalisms through an innate hyperesthesia that tempts him (in writing, sound recording and audiovisual) to reach other, less formal states.
Promoter of the 'Ilhas à Escuta - Paisagens Sonoras dos Açores' project, participant in the 9 Bairros magazine (Azores 2027), collaborator in the 'Rede de Memórias - As Mãos das Mulheres nesta Vivência de Ilhéu' project, member of the Tramela Aberta publication team (initiative of the Corvo Vivo Association).
However, despite everything, I'm just an islander.
