Cinemas Lisbon Area

Lisbon's intellectual, art and avant-garde cinema. There are cycles by great filmmakers or with themes (such as Asian cinema). It sometimes changes its life to host dance, theatre or music performances. Since the beginning of 2010 and thanks to very good acoustics, the hall led by Zé Maria Branco, son of the producer Paulo Branco, promises us a good programming on the fringe. If you want to go to the movies without seeing blockbusters, this is one of the best places to go.

Close to Marquês Pombal Square, the varied and interesting program of films in their original version is a mix of national and international, old and new, classic and avant-garde. A small handful of theaters (including two main ones), a well-stocked bookshop, a fine library and a small museum for film buffs, plus a bar-restaurant (open like the bookshop from Monday to Saturday, 12.30 to 00.30) with terrace on the upper floor. In the Salão Foz at Palácio da Foz, the Cinemateca Júnior awaits budding cinephiles.
