Night for Day, by British artist Emily Wardill, inaugurates a video program called Pela Liberdade e não por Medo (For Liberty, not Fear), produced by and in partnership with the State Contemporary Art Collection (CACE).MNAC is thus taking part in the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the Revolution of April 25, 1974, through the eyes of artists from different generations and artistic backgrounds on one of the most remarkable and decisive moments in our contemporary history.
Night for Day is a film that combines documentary and fiction.
It brings together filial relations in a revolutionary technological environment, as well as personal testimony (through interviews with Isabel do Carmo, an anti-fascist and one of the founders of the extreme left-wing movement, Brigadas Revolucionárias), and notes of modernist utopian architecture (The triangular house in Murfacém, Trafaria, designed by the architect António Teixeira Guerra). Complementing these records with the globalizing reality of contemporary Portuguese...society.
This is a work of enormous rigor and cinematographic quality, which expertly and dialectically explores Portugal's recent history, contributing to the urgent and incessant search for the meaning of democracy and freedom
