Portuguese-speaking cinema will be highlighted during the rentrée of Há Filmes na Baixa!, which will feature two movie sessions. In the first, five very short Portuguese short films will be screened in a session in partnership with Curtas Vila do Conde - International Film Festival. In the second, we will end the partnership with DocLisboa and the 6.doc initiative, screening the award-winning documentary "Martírio" by Vicent Carelli.

On September 12, Cinema Passos Manuel will host a session of national short films, presenting some of the diversity of recent Portuguese production, with five films of very recent debut. Two of them: Ana Moreira's "Aquaparque" and André Puertas and Ana Oliveira's "A ver o Mar" won important prizes in the last Curtas Vila do Conde (Best Portuguese Director Award / Best European Short Film Award and Best Prize Take One !, respectively).

On the 19th, there are Films Down! welcomes the last session of 6.doc, a program established in partnership with Doclisboa. "Martírio", by Vincent Carelli, portrays the forces of repression set up by farmers and landowners on the Guarani Kaiowá group, one of the largest indigenous populations in Brazil.
