Description:
António da Cunha Telles is a key figure in Portuguese cinema. He was instrumental in the birth of the New Portuguese Cinema as a producer, backing films like Paulo Rocha's *Os Verdes Anos*, Fernando Lopes' *Belarmino*, and António de Macedo's *Domingo à Tarde*. He also revitalized his career as a director with *O Cerco*. As a distributor, he introduced Sergei Eisenstein's *Ivan the Terrible* and *Battleship Potemkin* to Portuguese audiences. And as an exhibitor, he presented Rui Simões' *Deus, Pátria, Autoridade* and Herbert J. Biberman's *The Salt of the Earth*. However, António primarily identifies as a director. Though his film work is limited, his movies reflect the era in which they were made, revealing him to be a keen observer of both cinema and life itself.
