Cunha Telles first studied medicine in Lisbon , but then went to Paris . He lived there from 1956 to 1961 and completed a degree as a director at the IDHEC film school . In 1962 he started producing films. He is one of the founders of the Centro Português de Cinema and one of the main characters of the new Portuguese film, the Novo Cinema . He has also produced two of Novo Cinema's key films, Verdes Anos by Paulo Rocha and Belarmino by Fernando Lopes .
