Francisco Manso

Francisco Manso was born in Portugal in 1948. He trained in cinema and first worked as an assistant and as a producer, before directing documentaries that made his name. He came late to fiction, at forty-nine, and made the adaptation of African literatures in Portuguese his subject matter, filming between Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil with crews drawn from these countries. Since then he has continued to divide his work between documentary and fiction feature films.
