ANA E MAURIZIO

Portugal, 2020, 64’

Director: Catarina Mourão

The painter Ana Marchand always felt a bit dislocated within her family. The love of art and travel, where did she get those from? As a young woman she saw a travel book written by her uncle Maurizio Piscicelli and finally understood. Catarina Mourão (Pelas Sombras, A Toca do Lobo, O Mar Enrola na Areia) follows Ana’s familial and spiritual journey. Who was Maurizio? Who is Ana? The face of one, the face of the other. Reincarnation is the several lives we live.

Catarina Mourão studied Music, Law and Film (MA Bristol University). In 1998 she founded Apordoc, Portuguese Documentary Association. In 2000, she started teaching film and documentary. Also in 2000, she started Laranja Azul, an independent production company focused on the creative documentary and the visual arts in Lisbon, with fellow filmmaker Catarina Alves Costa.
