How do we translate a feeling that has no possible translation into images? How can we illustrate this poetic and nostalgic great incompleteness?
This was the challenge that Filipe Correia dos Santos set himself to, while directing Luís Trigacheiro’s debut single’s music video “Meu Nome é saudade”.
Produced by Shot And Cut Films, the end result is a harmonious balance between shadows and emptiness and the light that, for a brief moment, is able to give us some comfort and warmth, almost palpable. It was intended, therefore, to make Saudade exactly what it is, the most untranslatable feeling we know.
The film takes place in Alentejo, with its landscapes providing gorgeous backdrops. The musician Luís Trigacheiro became relevant after winning the program “The Voice Portugal” in 2020.
