Ali, Aqui – directed by Fábio Lima, José Monteiro, Marlene Nobre, Martina Maher, Rafael Moura, Sony (Edmilson Furtado),

2025 | Portugal | 70’ | Portuguese with English subtitles

Tuesday, October 24, 2025, 7pm — Cinemateca Portuguesa

Rafa leaves home to carry out an errand for his father: to buy wine for the cachupa (traditional stew) for lunch. As he crosses the neighbourhood, encounters and stories multiply — Nelson convinces Txidy to cut his hair in exchange for help; Jamir looks for Tofinha in the gardens by the Tagus River; Sony wanders through Penajóia in search of words for his poem Ali. Through paths, voices, and memories, the film sketches a portrait of Monte da Caparica, shaped by the experience and imagination of its residents.

The result of a collaborative process within the community cinema project Atlas Almada, produced by Terratreme, Ali, Aqui dialogues with the Doc’s Kingdom 2025 program, dedicated to collective filmmaking practices. The film proposes a gesture of shared creation, in constant construction: a space of encounter and listening, where the experience of cinema is made in common.

This special screening at Cinemateca Portuguesa continues the work that brings together Doclisboa and Doc’s Kingdom, underlining the vitality of collective practices in contemporary cinema.

Session organised in partnership with Cinemateca Portuguesa and Doclisboa.
