Songs of Azores
Adrianne Jorge. 9:30 minutes, Super-8 transferred to video, 2000. Portuguese with English subtitles.
"Songs of Azores," filmed on the Portuguese island of St. Michael, is a super-8 portrait of two strong elderly women. The filmmaker chronicles her aunts, one performing the ageless task of tending to chickens and roosters, the other piecing together century-old folk songs about island life. This film embraces traditions, which are so deeply ingrained and passed onto every generation.
Dedicated to Aunt Sophia, 1895-1998
