Deposited in its entirety in the Serralves Foundation since 2016, Manoel de Oliveira’s Collection includes a vast nucleus of documentation, composed of several of his working materials — such as scripts, photographs, texts, preparatory drawings, props, among other items — as well as prizes, posters, correspondence and the director’s personal library, which is a precious tool to further our knowledge of his oeuvre and of the history of cinema, art and culture in Portugal in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
The selection of documents presented herein has been conceived in conjunction with the temporary exhibition, Manoel de Oliveira: The House and offers a small sample of the wealth of archive materials collected by the filmmaker over more than eighty years.
