¿Se puede amar la naturaleza con la misma pasión que la cámara de Carlos la acaricia palmo a palmo? La cámara se recrea, se enseñorea y te emociona hasta sumergirte en sus paisaje con sus gentes hasta hacerte pertenecer, a través de esas imágenes, a esa tierra, a ese rincón de la naturaleza.

"Congratulations on the Recognition for this film.
Many Villages ending like this one. Young people going abroad looking for much better life, that means do not want to work as hard as their grandparents or parents did. You have captured the truth, the sadness in that men eyes talking about the dying Village.
Very profound story, well done and presented. One of your best i n my eyes."

"Con sumo gusto y capacidad creativa, como si hubiese interiorizado el sentir de Torga cuando dijo que "de todos los oficios que existen en el mundo, el más bello y el más trágico es el arte de crear"-. Y esta producción, reforzada por una música espectacular junto a una voz vibrante, es como si esas imágenes ambivalentes y de gran rotundidad descendieses con tu cámara a los abismos de una región perdida, como Luis Buñuel en "Las Hurdes", para traer la luz al día a día"

Adoptive Land - 2022
Jake Brooks , from International Motion Picture Awards
Adoptive Land(2002)
A lost visitor, without land or country, arrives at a lost village in the distant scorching mountains, and discovers a blackened people, truth, which appeals to the soul of the earth and the strength of the pines and still look at the sky, worship the sun, discover saints and glimpse miracles.
Carlos Pires Silveira's Adoptive Land is a perverse documentary-style motion picture that begins
with a stranger arriving
in a small village to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and lose himself
in nature.
The lead narrator, who depicts this documentary's main character, instantly convinces the viewers by stating that one day he discovers that he was born there and adopted this village, making it his own. It's also a unique thought process that brings this work to life as He still thought he was born in that village by privilege as if he had given birth in that destination and would tell everyone these stories so that the future wouldn't miss the record of it.
"Adoptive Land" is a heavenly village surrounded by mountains and creeks"
Director Silveira's Adoptive Land instantly breaks you away from the high-rises of a cosmopolitan lifestyle, crowds, vehicle smog, etc. It brings forward the heavenly village and its charm in about 17 minutes.
Undeniably, the work's minimal budget and lming facilities are the biggest challenges to achieving the technical excellence and elite level of the work. The narrative choice of simple but heart-warming communication by moving freely through a village and blending unscripted conversations that move around it is certainly to be admired.
Dialogs in the background to bridge the conversation have a kind of poetic form that is certainly enjoyable!
Maria Freire Brito Recalling her vivid memories of the "Adaptive Land"
