Film cycle / Unforgettable films

The aim of the activity is to encourage reflection and debate on the plurality of readings, meanings and truths that cinema brings to the general public. Each session will be attended by an invited personality from the most diverse areas of Portuguese life and culture, who will choose and comment on a film that they consider to have a special perspective, either because of the richness of its synthesis of the journeys of human existence, or because of its inherent aesthetic quality, or even because of the relationship between Literature and Cinema.

Synopsis:The American journalist John Reed travels to Russia to make a documentary about the Boleshevik Revolution and returns a revolutionary himself.  His passion for left-wing politics led him to Louise Bryant, who was married at the time, and who would become a feminist icon and activist. At home, political differences between Reed's ideals and reality began to cause problems. Bryant dates a cynical playwright, and Reed returns to Russia, where his health deteriorates.
