Siza Vieira, in his dedication to Fernando Guerra at the Valmor Prize, was the inspiration for the documentary title.
Fernando Guerra is one of the world's most renowned architectural photographers who, despite his notoriety, has kept himself away from interviews and conferences. The Building Pictures documentary "The Flying Photographer" is the opportunity to get to know his history, his passions and his look at the world of architecture.
The documentary will have a national debut at the Arquitecturas Film Festival that will take place in June at Cinema São Jorge in Lisbon. The debut in Oporto is in charge of Casa da Arquitectura, at a date to be defined.
Sara Nunes is the director of the documentary that began by accompanying the photographer's work in Brazil and Dubai and interviewed the Brazilian architects Isay Weinfeld, Arthur Casas and Márcio Kogan and X-Architects in the United Arab Emirates.
The director believes that the journey that more curiosity will awaken in the spectators will be the one that leads to Asia. It is there where right now Siza, together with Carlos Castanheira, more works are being built at this moment and where, until now, we hardly know them through the lens of the photographer. This trip "is still a dream," says Sara Nunes.
