Postal Code: A2053N is centred on Pepe Brix’ photographic work, which documents life on board a Portuguese long-distance fishing boat. Joana Princesa, one of the 13 surviving vessels from the “white fleet”, as the Portuguese fleet is known in the fishing world, was the boat on which the photographer sailed for three and a half months.
The Great Adventure is a documentary about cod fishing and the memory of the Portuguese presence in Newfoundland. Nowadays, cod fishing is, above all, a cultural and a memorial phenomenon. As a very powerful expression of a certain Portuguese collective imagination, the theme is approached in an aesthetic and exhilarating manner, but, at the same time, and above all, from a didactic and plural point of view. It is a documentary approach that can be appreciated by younger generations, seafaring communities and Portuguese emigrants spread across the world, as well as by a large foreign audience interested in the great narratives of maritime life.
