A Santa Joana dos Matadouros

Inspired by the work of Bertolt Brecht and shot in the old industrial abattoir in Porto, A Santa Joana dos Matadouros is a meta-cinematic essay about the job market during the European economic crisis. The film explores cinema’s potential within its relationship with theatre, bringing together a cast of professional and amateur actors, well-known artists from a range of disciplines, and a group of unemployed people living in Vale de Campanhã.

Screening presented by João Sousa Cardoso and André Sousa (visual artist). Free entrance upon ticket pickup on the same day. Limited to two tickets per person.
