This Thursday night, the documentary “Aurinegro” premieres in Aveiro, a feature film about the hundred years of history of Beira-Mar, the main nightclub in the city. An emblem that is currently recovering after its fall and that, in 1999, had its peak.
“TVI very kindly provided the documentary with images of the Portuguese Cup, making it one of the most emotional and energetic moments in the film. There is a beautiful moment in the movie. It started as a neighborhood club, with fishermen and small merchants, and then grew over the decades along with the city. It is a film not only about the history of the club, but also about the history of the city and the community that embraces it and vibrates so much with it, ”he told the TSF Gonçalo Almeida, director of “Aurinegro”, the documentary that tells the hundred years of Beira-Mar’s history.
A club that on the afternoon of June 19, 1999 wrote its peak, but which was also the beginning of its decline. A stage that does not go through Gonçalo Almeida’s film.
“He also talks about the SADs that were made, how they ended up going wrong and also how the club, when it goes through this difficult time, is forced to fall from the second national division to the second district division. Very nice portrait. from that moment when the club frees itself from the clutches of all these economic interests and groups with dubious intentions and takes the reins again. The people of the city begin to build the club again from the beginning”, explained the manager.
It was one more chapter in the history of Beira-Mar that had to be in the documentary.
“The people who were at the club realized that it would not make sense to play in the second district of the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro, which was completely disproportionate for what it was going to be. So, upon returning to the Estádio Mário Duarte, an effort Collective and popular was fantastic. The parents of the athletes went there to paint the chairs, recover the grass, fix the bars. People with tremendous goodwill”, recalled Gonçalo Almeida.
Everything so that the club does not die. An emblem with a hundred years of history for which names like Sousa, Abdelghani, Dinis, Mário Jardel and even Eusébio played.
