SYNOPSIS
Brunos' fascination with performer-musician-artist Manuel João Vieira has led him to document the artist's work over the years. With an extensive archive that ranges from the early 1980's to most-recently shot footage in 2017, a documentary is in ever-constant production. The footage included over 25 concerts shot with several of the Vieira's bands, his art work openings, performances that includes his recent run for the Portuguese presidency and an array of the colorful madness usually associated with the magic world of Manuel João Vieira.
It's not completely sure when Bruno will complete the work, and in which format it will be distributed, thought a long format documentary and a TV series is being considered. Once asked about the length of the film Bruno estimated that a 15 hour documentary would be a possibility but since Vieira is a non-stop creative genius and a never-ending source of new material, one can never know for sure.
