This documentary film cycle presents 15 films organised into three sections, each focused on the work of a director: Roberto Rossellini / ‘Figures’, Éric Rohmer / ‘Experimental’, and Frederick Wiseman / ‘Institutions’.

The cycle opens on 14 September in the Grand Auditorium with a conversation between the curator and Maria Filomena Molder, followed by the 1954 classic Journey to Italy, directed by Roberto Rossellini.

The second installment opens on 25 January with a debate between Pedro Mexia and Joaquim Sapinho on the film My Night at Maud’s (1969). We wrap up the cycle with Frederick Wiseman’s Ex-Libris (2017), introduced by Pedro Mexia and António M. Feijó.
