O documentário "Cesária Évora" está integrado na seleção oficial da edição de 2022 do Festival South by Southwest, a decorrer de 11 a 20 de março, em Austin, nos Estados Unidos da América, anunciou hoje a produtora.

O documentário tem visionamentos agendados, durante o festival, para os dias 12, 16 e 19 de março.

Com imagens de arquivo, gravações inéditas e testemunhos, "Cesária Évora" aborda a vida e carreira artística da "Diva dos pés descalços" e tem realização de Ana Sofia Fonseca.

O filme é o culminar de uma vontade de "há muito", disse a realizadora à agência Lusa, acrescentando que o facto de ter casa no Mindelo, muito perto da de Cesária, também levou a que não deixasse a vontade por concretizar.

"A voz de Cesária Évora não deixa ninguém indiferente, a sua história também não", disse hoje à agência Lusa Ana Sofia Fonseca, acrescentando que, "sem levantar bandeiras", a cantora "lutou a vida inteira contra preconceitos".

"E conquistou um dos maiores luxos dos nossos dias - ser apenas ela própria. Em Cabo Verde ou em Hollywood, Cesária foi sempre a mesma pessoa", frisou.

Além de um filme de música, "Cesária Évora" é também um "hino à liberdade" já que, através da história da cantora, o documentário cruza contextos políticos e sociais, abordando temas como o colonialismo e a igualdade, referiu.

Nos últimos cinco anos, Ana Sofia Fonseca, que também é jornalista 'freelance', mergulhou no universo da cantora e descobriu uma história completamente diferente da biografia a que as estrelas nos habituaram, indicou.

Mulher, negra e pobre, Cesária Évora tinha mais de cinquenta anos quando "conquistou o mundo inteiro", mas a fama "nunca a deslumbrou".

A ideia é "que as pessoas se vejam ao lado da Cesária, com ela, que acompanhem a Cesária e que ponham os pés no Mindelo e entrem no universo dela, até porque Cesária viajou pelo mundo inteiro, mas nunca deixou de ter os pés no Mindelo", concluiu.

Produzido pela Carrossel Produções em associação com a Até ao fim do mundo, o filme foi realizado em Portugal, França e Cabo Verde, e tem distribuição mundial pela Cinephil/WestEnd Films.

O filme, cuja estreia em Portugal ainda não tem data prevista, tem edição de imagem de Cláudia Rita Oliveira e fotografia de Vasco Viana, e contou com o apoio do Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual.

Nascida a 27 de agosto de 1941, no Mindelo, onde morreu em 17 de dezembro de 2011, Cesária Évora foi a cantora mais reconhecida da história da música popular cabo-verdiana.

Apesar de ter começado a cantar aos 16 anos, em bares e hotéis em Cabo Verde, só depois do disco gravado em 1988 em França - "La diva aux pieds nuds" ("A diva dos pés descalços", numa tradução livre, por assim se apresentar em palco) - a rainha da morna viria a granjear fama internacional, em consequência do encorajamento do seu conterrâneo José da Silva.

A Creative & Cosy Northcote Family Pad

Homes

by Lucy Feagins, Editor

Living room looking back to kitchen and dining space. Clever custom shelving divides the living and kitchen zones, and provides flexible storage for the family’s eclectic collections. Jardan couch bought from TDF Open House circa 2012 (woo!). Parker Coffee table c.1970 from hard rubbish! Production – Lucy Feagins/The Design Files. Photo – Eve Wilson.

Bookshelf details, featuring many of Scott’s op shop treasures. One favourite piece is the Xavier Kugat painting of a priest carrying a bunch of playboys. ‘We call it Papa after Scott’s dad which is a little unfair but there is a resemblance..apart from the magazines…!’ says Chloe!

Dining room, with vintage furniture from Modern Times, timber panelled wall in Dulux Madonna, limited edition ‘Happiness’ print by the late David Band. ‘Sim, Kat and I all bought one of these prints for each other after one particularly tiring year at work, as a thanks to each other, but mostly for our sadness when David died.’ Chloe says.

Kitchen ‘is fantastic’! To left, Bitossi Italian ceramic vase, Dinosaur Design resin salad bowl. Production – Lucy Feagins/The Design Files. Photo – Eve Wilson.

One of Chloe’s favourite aspects of the home’s re-design are the stunning slim-line steel windows and doors. ‘It was a big decision to get them, as they were exxy but we really are happy we did it’ she says. ‘They are argon-filled, double-glazed custom-made steel and they mean the house stays cool / warm’. Conversely, the Grant Featherston contour chair was picked up at a garage sale for $20! Production – Lucy Feagins/The Design Files. Photo – Eve Wilson.

Kitchen looking back to living. Decorative details on shelves include Grant McClaren Australian pottery cat (a present from Chloe’s business partners, Simone and Kat at Ortolan), and Tasmania timber fruit (again sourced from an op shop).

This deceptively roomy semi-detached Victorian terrace in Northcote has been home to Chloe Quigley and Scott Robinson for 14 years. It’s the one and only home they’ve ever owned. The pair purchased the house in 2003, and lived here for ten years before undertaking a significant renovation.

When the time came to extend and renovate, Chloe and Scott turned to architects Louisa Macleod and Michael Macleod. A brother and sister team, Louisa and Michael are siblings of Kat Macleod, one of Chloe’s business partners at Ortolan. As close friends of Chloe and Scott, both architects took on this job as a one-off freelance project – Mike works at award-winning Melbourne architecture firm Kennedy Nolan, and Louisa, who was freelance at the time, now works at Design Office.

‘It was amazing having Louisa and Michael work on the house, as they knew us really well and they have similar taste. They are both extremely clever, and we really trusted them’ Chloe recalls.

The renovation meant demolishing almost everything – only the front of the house and one side wall were retained. Everything else was gutted by builder Ben Thomas, who Chloe speaks glowingly of! ‘He really loves the house and still checks up on it’ Chloe says.

Originally, the house was 2 bedroom, one bathroom, with a narrow living room, dining room, a lean-to kitchen and an outside laundry. Down the back, was a huge garage that Chloe says was used as ‘A Current Affair-style hoarder’s paradise, filled with stuff we didn’t want to think about’!

Now, the house has 3 bedrooms, a study nook, a super functional family bathroom, living and dining room – whilst the ‘hoarder’s paradise’ has been replaced with a new freestanding studio with bathroom and rooftop deck. ‘It’s a really good use of a long skinny small block’ Chloe says.

Scott is a passionate op-shop and garage sale fossicker, and the house is filled with the fruits of his frequent treasure hunts. ‘We found a Featherston chair years ago at a garage sale, which we happened to get for $20 which was like stealing’ Chloe admits. ‘It still feels naughty to own it.’

Despite their many years here, I get the distinct impression that Chloe and Scott pinch themselves everyday about their beautiful little house. Every space is designed perfectly for their family’s specific passions, and daily routines. ‘The house is light and airy and every surface is lovely – we chose textures pretty carefully so that they are not shiny or bright – all very quiet and calm’ Chloe says. ‘It’s small, but there are enough spaces that we can be ‘together apart’.

‘The nicest thing about living here is that we have been here forever’ Chloe muses. ‘We know the street, all our neighbours, the area. We will see if we outgrow it or not, who knows. At the moment we imagine we will never move.’
