Isadora Neves Marques presents the exhibition 'Do we ever truly arrive?' at SOLAR - Cinematic Art Gallery, which opens on Saturday, December 2nd, at 5pm. Intimate and insightful, this plot puts four of the artist's works into dialogue, two of which have the collaboration of HAUT / Fá Maria, an artist and composer who will occupy the CAVE space with the new installation ANIMAL.

As part of the CAVE project, Solar - Cinematic Art Gallery is hosting Fá Maria for her exhibition ANIMAL, an installation in which she uses her body and voice, probably the most intimate of instruments, as a method of investigation, exploring the limits of what is considered organic, synthetic, natural or aberrant.

Another edition of O Dia Mais Curto is approaching, with film screenings all over the country and a programme to match its 11 years of existence.

The Portuguese Short Film Agency is presenting 4 different programmes in 2023, for all ages and audiences, with Portuguese and international films, screened from the north to the south of the country, mainland and islands, throughout the month of December, as part of The Short Film Day.

New Portuguese Shorts is a selection of works made in Portugal, which offer different reflections on permanent problems in today's society. The Short Films From Around The World - European Audience Award programme presents European films awarded by audiences at major film festivals in this year's ESFAA (European Short Film Audience Award) programme, while the sections dedicated to younger audiences, Shorts For Everyone (M/6) and Short Friends (M/3), invite the public to explore the emblematic universes of animation cinema.

In addition to the programmes on offer, there are also the programmes of the organisations and film clubs that are taking part in the initiative, free of charge, with special sessions for schools and television screenings of the films.
