The line between the movie theater and the gallery space is increasingly blurred. Analog formats developed in a DIY fashion, the amateurism of the handycam, video games, found footage, memes, Instagram filters and TikTok trends are raw material on the editing table that ends up in the works that cohabit both exhibition spaces. Is the way they’re seen different?

The talk NEW MATTERS AND LANGUAGES – (DE)CONSTRUCTED CINEMA took place on May 5th, at 3pm, at Universidade Lusófona.

Moderation: Ricardo Vieira Lisboa

Participants: Carlos Almeida, Tiago Bartolomeu Costa (FILMar) and Kjell Runar Jenssen

As part of the presentation of recently restored copies carried out by FILMar, a project led by the Cinematheque that aims to restore, promote and disseminate filmic heritage related to the sea, let’s talk about the importance of preserving and distributing our cultural heritage. As part of an alternative exhibition circuit, it aims to make known the history of Portuguese cinema and the respective traditions of the sea. A knowledge platform.

The talk FILMar WITH INDIELISBOA took place on May 4th, at 4:30pm, at Universidade Lusófona.

Moderation: Daniella Shreir

With: Peggy Ahwesh and Lisa Petrucci

This year, WOMEX – an expo that aims to promote creativity and support the role of music cultures – will take place in Lisbon in October. As a warm-up, we jump-start from this year’s IndieMusic programme to talk about music from around the world, interculturalism and how it’s crafted for the big screen. Let’s talk art, history, culture, activism and politics on the beat.
