A celebratory portrait of Uruguayan Portuguese, a unique dialect, while exploring how language, place and society intertwine in border living.
We are proud to announce the upcoming screening of Doctor Ana Carvalho's Documentary film "Vozes das Margens" which explores the unique aspects of bilingual speakers in border regions. After 30 of research and interaction with the communities of Uruguayan Portuguese speakers, Ana began work on the film as a way of giving back.
The film consists of interviews with about 20 people, filmed over a 22-day period in which Carvalho and three independent documentary cinematographers she hired in Uruguay traveled more than 600 kilometers to visit various communities.
For more information about the film, its making, and the themes it touches on, follow this link:
If you are unable to make it to this screening, be aware that there will be one more happening during Charlas con Café, sponsored by LAS, on Dec 5 at 12:30.
