    A Night With Film Critic Rui Tendinha in Lisbon

    In this episode, we spend a evening with Rui Tendinha — one of Portugal’s most recognisable film critics — inside his world of press screenings, late-night cinema gatherings, awards, memories, and contradictions.Being paid to watch movies sounds like a dream job.But behind the premieres, parties, and famous names lies early mornings, brutal honesty, bad films you can’t walk out of, and a lifelong obsession with cinema.From childhood notebooks filled with handwritten reviews to encounters with legends like Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Hopkins, Paul Newman, David Lynch and more, Rui reflects on what cinema has given him — and what it has taken away.We follow him through Lisbon on a rainy night, into a tertúlia dedicated to young actors, through conversations about art-house films, B-movies, dream jobs, critics, creators, and how stories shape who we are.  / ruitendinha  Join Club People of Lisbon!Unlock exclusive access to events, behind-the-scenes content, and special offers for just €10/month!

    The Lisbon Jazz Man Who Escaped the Madhouse — Jazzafari

    Meet João Mendes, better known as Jazzafari — one of Lisbon’s most unique and unpredictable jazz musicians. From playing reggae-infused jazz in his open Lisbon home studio to reflecting on mental health, addiction, creativity, and spirituality, Jazzafari’s story is as wild and beautiful as his music.Once confined to a madhouse, João now channels his experiences into rhythm, art, and soulful expression — blending jazz, reggae, and experimental sounds into something uniquely his own. In this intimate portrait, filmed for People Of Lisbon, he opens up about his family’s artistic legacy, his recovery journey, and his belief that life — like jazz — is all about improvisation.  / jazzafari  Join Club People of Lisbon!Unlock exclusive access to events, behind-the-scenes content, and special offers for just €10/month!

    He Travelled All of Portugal to Understand Its Soul

    New Zealander Chris Jones spent four years travelling the entire country — from the green valleys of the North to the islands of the Azores and Madeira. The result is Meet The Tugas, a book that explores Portugal’s history, culture, and people through the curious eyes of an outsider who fell in love with it all.In this episode of People Of Lisbon, we meet Chris (and his family) at their beautiful home in Príncipe Real to hear how a chance trip changed his life, what he discovered along the way, and why Portugal’s story is far richer — and more surprising — than most imagine.https://www.instagram.com/christojones/Join Club People of Lisbon!Unlock exclusive access to events, behind-the-scenes content, and special offers for just €10/month!
