Lauro António de Carvalho Torres Corado (born August 18, 1942 in Lisbon ) is a Portuguese film director .

Life

Born in Lisbon in 1942, he moved to Portalegre with his parents at the age of 7 , where he lived until he was 14. There he began to write about film in local newspapers as a teenager, for example in the O Distrito de Portalegre . Back in Lisbon since 1958, he began to study history at the University of Lisbon in 1961 . There he became active in the film club movement, in particular through his membership in the Cineclube Universitário de Lisboa and in the ABC , of which he became chairman.

He began to work as a film critic, primarily in newspapers, such as the Diário de Lisboa (1967–1975), the Diário de Notícias (1976–1986), A Capital , and Sete , but also in television and radio RTP / RDP . In addition, he directed cinemas for the Lusomundo film distribution company ( Apolo 70 1969–1986, Caleidoscópico 1975–1977, Foco 1973–1977), and published various books on the subject of film.

He began his own directorial work with various short films before producing his first long feature film, Versunkener Morgen (orig .: Manhã Submersa), based on the novel by Vergílio Ferreira . The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1980 and received international criticism. He established António as the director of Portuguese films .

Lauro António then produced a series (1983-1984) for the public television RTP, under the title Histórias de Mulheres (Eng .: stories of women). The works of himself and those of the other directors involved illuminated the situation of women in Portugal after the Carnation Revolution from different angles . Among António's four contributions was Casino Oceano , which premiered at the 1983 film festival in Casino Figueira and was partly filmed in the eponymous Casino Oceano , which is located next to the festival venue .

Since then, he has only appeared sporadically as a director. In the mid-1990s, he became program manager in the feature film department for the private television broadcaster TVI , where he also showed films that he himself selected in the series Lauro António apresenta . In 2009, the public service RTP showed a documentary filmed by António on the 50th anniversary of Humberto Delgado's presidential candidacy in 1959, one of the most important moments of resistance against the Salazar regime.
