Book Presentation:
This book offers a new reading of the work of Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa. His use of political gesture is shown to push the limits of filmic representation that goes beyond the depiction of a social reality.
About the authors:
Patrícia Sequeira Brás is Visiting Assistant Professor in Film Studies and Integrated Researcher at CEIS20 at Universidade de Coimbra. She concluded her doctoral research in the Department of Iberian and Latin American Studies at Birkbeck, University of London, in 2015. She previously taught at Queen Mary and Birkbeck, University of London, and at the University of Exeter in the UK and then held a research position at Universidade Lusófona in Lisbon.
