On June 22, at 7 pm, Cinema São Jorge will host the public screening of Correspondências, a community film project that brought together participants from different generations in the parishes of Misericórdia and Santo António over the course of an academic year.
Through the exchange of film letters between neighboring schools and day centers, children, young people, and seniors got to know one another, sharing memories, questions, stories, and perspectives on the neighborhood where they live. The result is a collection of short films created collectively, where portraits, interviews, and maps compose a diary of this intergenerational encounter.
These are films about how life was and how life is; about play, the passage of time, the revolutions already experienced, and those we still await. Films that invite us to listen to different voices and discover what unites people separated by decades of experience.
This session marks the culmination of a journey of creation, learning, and sharing, and invites family members, neighbors, and the general public to discover the films and stories that emerged from this unlikely and inspiring dialogue.
Free admission.
