Are the heterónimos coming ?

Do we want to lose track of the heterónimos. Are we going to forget all those hours spent grappling with Ricardo Reis, Alvaro Campos, Alberto Caeiro?
Of course not….Never
Then do meet Dr. José Carlos Seabra Pereira from the Centro Interuniversitário de Estudos Camonianos, University of Coimbra, who will give a talk about everything to do with Fernando Pessoa, Sá-Carneiro and the Generation of Orfeu”.
The talk “Amizade e estratégia modernista no campo literário - Fernando Pessoa, Sá-Carneiro e a geração de Orfeu”is to be held on the 29th August 2011, at 6.30 pm, at the premises of the Instituto Camões, Agva House, 9/32 Dr.Dada Vaidya Road, Panaji.
The talk is preceded by a film, ‘Conversa Acabada’ directed by João Botelho (1982), to be screened at 5.00 pm.
What’s this movie all about? Well you have to see it, but a brief introduction to whet your appetite

Complete Cast of ‘Conversa Acabada

It was meant to be a documentary, but took twists and turns and evolved into a fictional film. The film, deals with the poems and letters exchanged by the two most outstanding names of the Modernist Movement in Portugal, Fernando Pessoa, who lived in Lisbon and Mário de Sá-Carneiro who lived in Paris. And suddenly, their long intercâmbio stopped, we who have spent endless nights studying Pessoa, know why…..

A chance to listen to a talk given by Dr. José Carlos Seabra Pereira from the Centro Interuniversitário de Estudos Camonianos, University of Coimbra, is a once in a lifetime experience. So do not miss it.
