Professor and researcher at the School of Arts co-programmes new cycle of Seleção Nacional at Batalha Centro de Cinema

Monday, September 8, 2025 - 11:11

On 10 September, at 7:15 pm, Batalha Centro de Cinema will host the launch of a new chapter of Seleção Nacional, a section dedicated to Portuguese cinema that has been co-programmed (together with Joana Gusmão and Luísa Sequeira) by a professor and researcher at the School of Arts, Carlos Natálio.

This programme, entitled A Pedra ainda Espera Dar Flor (The Stone Still Awaits to Bloom), opens with the screening of Miguel Gomes’ film A Cara que Mereces (The Face You Deserve) and will continue until February 2026. It will present works that reflect on how Portuguese cinema has been engaging with the challenges of growing up, tracing a path through the perspectives and dilemmas of childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood.
