On 18 September 1929, the Portuguese writer José Régio sent a letter to Alberto Serpa expressing his desire to create a production company and to start making films. He asked him to contact a friend who had a film camera. For almost 90 years, nothing more was known about the outcome: no reply from Serpa was ever found and Régio never mentioned the subject again. However, the discovery of some old reels in a collector’s hoard seems finally to provide an ending to this story.
