Celeste

Directed by Diogo Varela Silva

This film celebrates the 70th anniversary of Celeste Rodrigues’ career as a fado singer. It is an intimate and sincere portrait of the artist, narrated in first person and driven by the fondness of the director, her grandson. The archive images reveal the modernity of her fado style. With 59 albums recorded, Amália’s younger sister, now 94, continues to sing and make fado a living force.
