Biography

Saguenail - Serge Abramovici (born May 7, 1955) After graduated with a degree in Modern Languages and Literature, he came to Portugal in 1975 to see the Revolution from the inside. Here he met Regina Guimarães, who would become his companion and accomplice, both in art and in life. He returned to Paris where he worked as a primary school teacher until he settled in Porto for good in 1980. With Regina Guimarães, he founded the production company Hélastre (which, however, would only come into legal existence in 1996). Here he began his cinematographic work in 1980. In 1984, he was part of the team that launched the film magazine 'A Grande Ilusão' (published by the Cineclube do Norte), where he developed a critical activity.
