The Movie:
Heaven's Mirror: A Portuguese Voyage (2011, 76 min), is Joshua Dylan Mellars' award-winning film about Fado music and the nostalgia of immigrants.
HEAVEN'S MIRROR goes deep into the spell of fado, the hauntingly beautiful Portuguese folk music, and its salient emotion--longing or “saudade.” In telling fado's story, HEAVEN'S MIRROR travels from the Portuguese immigrant enclaves of California to New England's former whaling ports, then to Lisbon’s candle-lit fado houses and Indian Goa's steamy, pastel bungalows.
HEAVEN'S MIRROR features the world's finest “fadistas”: Ana Moura, Mafalda Arnauth, Camané, Katia Guerreiro, Carminho, Joana Amendoeira, Carlos do Carmo, Celeste Rodrigues, Tereza Tarouca, Jorge Fernando, Carlos Gonçalves and Helder Moutinho.
This presentation was made possible thanks to our ongoing work with The Washington Portuguese Language Meetup, The Embassy of Portugal and the Instituto Camoes.
Our film will be followed by Q&A with director Joshua Dylan Mellars, live via Skype.
The Venue: BloomBars is a non-profit community arts space that redefines the concept of a bar, nurturing artists through live music, visual arts, dance, live performances, spoken word, youth programs, and more. BloomBars is open to all ages, and does not serve alcohol.
