THE FILM DIRECTOR AND THE CITY: MANOEL DE OLIVEIRA AND PORTO Manoel de Oliveira brings about a strong, inexplicable and a connection impossible to define to Porto. He casts, in Douro Faina Fluvial (1931), Aniki‑Bóbó (1942), O Pintor e a Cidade (1956), and Porto da minha Infância (2001) a special relationship between this city and the universe of movies. The Porto of Manoel de Oliveira becomes a filmic discourse, an aesthetic journey without boundaries between fiction and documentary. It’s a city established as the architecture of the film becoming the character, title, maximum space of architectural and cinematic reflection. It is a labyrinthine Porto of images, a city transformed by the multiple film cameras from a single Master.
