Career

Miguel Gomes completed his film studies from 1996 to 2000 in his hometown Lisbon. He made his first short film in 1999 under the title Entretanto ("Meanwhile"). At the international short film festival Curtas Vila do Conde he was awarded as the best Portuguese director in the same year. In 2000 he won the main prize at the International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen . By 2002, Inventário de Natal ("Inventory of Christmas", 2000), 31 (2001) and Kalkitos (2002) three other short films.

In 2004 he presented his first feature film with A cara que mereces ("The face that you deserve") and was nominated for a Globos de Ouro in 2006. In 2008 Aquele Querido Mês de Agosto ("That Beloved Month of August") was released, with which he won the film festivals in São Paulo, Guadalajara and Buenos Aires. In 2009 the film was awarded the Globo de Ouro for best Portuguese film. The semi-documentary film uses a fictional film project in the historic slate village of Benfeita ( Arganil district ) to show the actual Portuguese labor migrants on home leave in August, including local rural peculiarities such as folk festivals. It also turned out to be a surprise success at the domestic box office and in April 2012 was still one of the 30 most successful Portuguese films since 2004. It also ran commercially in France, Germany, Brazil, Belgium, Mexico and Argentina.

In 2012 Gomes took part in the official competition for the Golden Bear at the Berlinale with Tabu - A Story of Love and Guilt . For the film, he made use of numerous allusions from film history and told - mostly in black and white images - of a dying old Portuguese woman who had an adventurous love story during the colonial era. Tabu was awarded the Alfred Bauer Prize and the FIPRESCI Prize at the film festival .

With his three-part adaptation of the Arabian Nights, filmed in 2015, to today's Portugal, which was marked by the euro crisis , he again gained some attention among film buffs. The "As Mil e Uma Noites" trilogy won various awards, including the Sydney Film Festival , the Polish T-Mobile New Horizons International Film Festival (previously Era Nowe Horyzonty), and the European Film Festival in Seville .
