Film Observatory
Throughout the year, we measure the temperature of what is happening around the world: we receive hundreds of submissions to the Open Call - Film Observatory. The selected works are screened in three independent cinema nights, in sessions organized in the months of January, April and October.
Alfama continues to be our home, this time in a more welcoming environment suitable for the months in which this observatory takes place: we occupy the Auditorium of the Fado Museum and take the cinema with us.
The films selected in each of these sessions will be screened at the great cinema celebration, the Cinalfama Lisbon International Film Festival.
