LETTERS FROM WAR (CARTAS DA GUERRA), co-written by London Film School alumnus Edgar Medina, has been selected for the main competition at the 66th Berlin Film Festival, running this year between 11-21 February.
Co-written with Ivo Ferreira, the film adapts the letters that a young soldier sent to his wife during Portugal’s Colonial War. LETTERS FROM WAR is based on a book by renowned Portuguese author António Lobo Antunes. The epistolary novel, published in 2005, brings together the letters written between 1971 and 1973. Just like Lobo Antunes himself, the young soldier is a doctor and an aspiring writer.
