About Us

We tell Portugal’s stories — from major documentaries to the small memories that shaped it.

Who We Are

A production company born from curiosity about Portuguese memory

Sombra Chinesa is a documentary film production company founded by Martin Dale, dedicated to telling stories that bring together art, heritage and nature — from major auteur documentaries to institutional portraits that preserve local memory.

A well-told documentary is, at once, an archive and an experience: a record that serves researchers and institutions, and a work that moves audiences seeing it for the first time in a cinema.
