Amândio Silva was born in Lisbon, but his strong connection to Seia and CineEco has always been marked by his regular presence at the festival over the years.
His book Memórias is, according to Heloisa Paulo, “an autobiography made up of documents and accounts that paint a picture of the life of the man who, after all, is its genuine author. The lived experience and the memory of the facts are brought together here side by side, making up a unique and identifiable vision of the past of a resistance fighter.”
