Margarida Cordeiro

Margarida Cordeiro was born on 5 July 1938 at Brunhozinho, in the municipality of Mogadouro, in north-eastern Portugal. A psychiatrist by profession, she was the assistant and then co-director of her partner, the poet and filmmaker António Reis, with whom she made several films shot in her native region; their approach has been called the Reis school. As the press often overlooked her in these films, she lodged complaints several times. After Reis's death, she spent ten years trying to adapt a novel by Juan Rulfo, without funding, then withdrew far from cinema.
