Manoel de Oliveira

Manoel de Oliveira (1908–2015) is widely regarded as the greatest Portuguese filmmaker of all time. He began filming documentaries and directed his first feature in the 1930s, but in the hostile climate of the Salazar regime he devoted the 1940s and early ’50s to winegrowing and working for his father’s firm. In 1985 and 2004 he won two Golden Lions for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival, in 1992 the Pardo d’onore at the Locarno Film Festival and in 2008 an Honorary Golden Palm for lifetime achievement at the Cannes Film Festival.
