MARIA DO MAR • LEITÃO DE BARROS (1930) • 2022 Cinemateca Portuguesa 105 min • Maria do Mar, often considered as the masterpiece of Portuguese silent cinema, is a local synthesis of the European film avant-gardes of the 1920s, which combines the boldest formal composition and montage with an inquiring ethnographic look of the fishing community of Nazaré. Its balanced mix of modernity and tradition, as well as its conflation of documentary and fictional modes of representation, make it a founding moment in the history of Portuguese cinema, and a landmark of European silent film. Maria do Mar was the first project developed in Cinemateca Portuguesa’s photochemical restoration film lab, in 2000. The 2021 digital restoration originated in the 4K digitisation of the film’s original camera negative. Some of the damaged or inexistent shots in the negative, as well as all intertitles, were digitised from the fine grain master produced in 2000. The image’s digital restoration and colour correction were made by Cineric Portugal. Bernardo Sassetti’s musical score was originally commissioned by Cinemateca in 1999. It was orchestrated by Vasco Pearce de Azevedo, Bernardo Sassetti, and Luís Tinoco, and recorded in 2010 by Bernardo Sassetti (piano), Filipa Pais (vocals), and the Orquestra Sinfonietta de Lisboa (conducted by Maestro Vasco Pearce de Azevedo), with José Pedro Gil, Vasco Pearce de Azevedo, and Bernardo Sassetti as the recording producers∙1 DVD; 1 illustrated booklet with essays in English and Portuguese; 2 bonus features: NAZARÉ, PRAIA DE PESCADORES E ZONA DE TURISMO (Leitão de Barros, 1929), with an original musical score composed and played on the piano by Filipe Raposo; and ABOUT THE MUSIC OF MARIA DO MAR (Manuel Mozos, 2021)
