Archive Treasures

The history of cinema is full of popular films that have been loved through the generations, but there have also been many that were quickly forgotten. Some, decades after their release, may be chosen for restoration and gain a new life on the festival circuit. But they don’t always make it to the public cinema auditorium. With two screenings per month, Treasures from the Archive is a programme of (re)discovery of films recently restored by important laboratories, archives and cinema archives in the industry. Some of these works have already been recognised for their importance in the history of cinema, while others, from all over the world, for various reasons have yet to be seen by a general audience.

In all of them we encounter compelling perspectives and issues that justify another look — regardless of whether they were made 20 or 80 years ago.

In the final months of 2024, Archive Treasures explores armed conflicts and the traumas that emerge from them, and the importance of anti-war messages in cinema. October brings two works that deal with the panic of the nuclear threat after the Second World War, with Every Week Seven Days by Eduard Grečner and Godzilla by Ishirō Honda. In November we revisit Palestine and the theme of colonialism: we present the Urgent Call for Palestine screening, which includes Lionel Rogosin's film, Arab Israeli Dialogue, and Leila and the Wolves, with the presence of the director, Heiny Srour.

Curated by Joana Canas Marques and Lídia Queirós
