Portuguese film director Manoel de Oliveira died on Thursday at the age of 106, producer Luis Urbano said, quoting family sources. The filmmaker made more than 50 films, including features and documentaries, over the course of a career that began in 1931. Oliveira was reportedly the only filmmaker whose career ran from the silent era well into the digital age. Portuguese actor and director Maria de Meideiros once described him as a "genius who represented the creative freedom of cinema".
