http://www.heavensmirrormovie.com "Heaven's Mirror" is filmmaker Joshua Dylan Mellars' mystically wild and lushly romantic fado journey: after the death of his grandmother the filmmaker travels from the ironwork balconies and narrow cobbled streets of Lisbon's Alfama to the cool bungalow porches of former Portuguese Goa, from the salt sprayed clapboard of New England's former whaling ports to the dusty bullrings of Central California in search of the meaning of saudade, the essence of fado. Like Proust, fado music tries to recover lost times, ephemeral feelings, time moved on, laments of what could have been if only... In "Heaven's Mirror," Mellars travels a geographical odyssey and an inner quest, mixing love with desire, memory with longing. Mimicking the Portuguese discovery voyages of old, the filmmaker also sails an inner sea to learn from those who have lived and sung life in fado--for somewhere, somehow, sometime, we all must travel fado's terrain. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heavens-Mirror-A-Portuguese-Voyage/154370841279245
