Long Way From Home (How did we get here?)

The film is a snapshot of the rituals that make the Paredes de Coura festival so unique

This was directed within the Canal180 team

Year after year people gather in the village of Paredes de Coura, to attend one of the oldest Portuguese music festivals. The film is a snapshot of the rituals that make the festival so unique: long climbing to the village, after parties in the camping area, poetry close to the river, heading to a remote place year after year with the same group of friends, to make new ones. 

Directed, edited and cinematography by João Diogo Marques and Luis Sobreiro
