Returning to the festival, Rodrigo Areias is presenting his new film in a national preview, "The Stone Dreams To Blossom", about the work of journalist and writer Raul Brandão, which will be presented with a live musical piece by the musician from Guimarães Dada Garbeck.

Dada Garbeck, who has so far developed various artistic works all over the world, is the alter ego of Rui Souza, composer (he has been responsible for creations for both theatre and cinema, and his involvement in community projects is also noteworthy) and musician (he has released three albums: "The Ever Coming", "Vox Humana" and "Cosmophonia"). In his work, the voice and the word take centre stage in a kind of epic narrative, summoning a certain degree of ancestry through archaic orality and a glimpse of research into traditional music. He is currently the musical director of the Didascália Theatre as well as the artistic creator of the Murmurinho community project, in the context of the MUMA festival on the island of Faial.
