Synopsis

Ce documentaire montre la préparation et la célébration des fêtes de Noël dans une zone de Trás-os-Montes, une région du nord-est du Portugal où des traditions particulièrement archaïques subsistent. Les festivités se déroulent de Noël au mercredi des Cendres, en passant par la Saint-Étienne, le Nouvel An, l’Épiphanie et le Carnaval. La naissance, la vie et la mort de Jésus font l’objet d’un spectacle en costume, selon un rituel ancien. « Conformément à mes souhaits, Máscaras a été filmé sans artifices ni efforts pour obtenir un ordre esthétique. Mes apparitions, insérées tout au long du film, ne sont rien d’autre que des signes de méditation. Aucun film n’est innocent ; par conséquent, un film ethnographique doit pouvoir être interprété de différentes manières. » Noémia Delgado

This documentary shows the preparation for and the celebration of the Christmas holidays in an area of Trás-os-Montes, a region in north-eastern Portugal where particularly archaic traditions have survived. The festivities continue from Christmas until Ash Wednesday, including Saint Stephen, New Year’s, Epiphany and Carnival. The birth, the life and the death of Jesus constitute the subject of a play in costume, following an ancient ritual. “In accordance with my wishes, Máscaras was filmed without any contrivances or efforts to obtain aesthetic order. My appearances, inserted throughout the film, are nothing less than signs of meditation. No film is innocent; consequently, an ethnographic film has to be able to be interpreted in different ways.” Noémia Delgado
