What we’re about
_PT
Conversas com Cinema© é uma das várias vertentes de programação da PROSA.
Na PROSA desenvolvemos experiências educativas através do poder transformador das artes visuais e narrativas. E, portanto, o Cinema não poderia ficar de fora!
No Conversas com Cinema© mostramos desde filmes clássicos até lançamentos, mas aqueles que são menos programados ou esquecidos.
A cada duas semanas lançamos um Ciclo novo e, pasmem: quem é membro da PROSA tem sempre entrada gratuita! Já os bilhetes para o público em geral custam sempre 3€ por filme, por pessoa.
Fazemos a exibição dos filmes em pixel iluminado (ecrã QLED 65’’) e em sala condicionada ao máximo de 24 espectadores. Acreditamos que a mensagem escrita com luz não pode falhar na recepção, junto do espectador.
Mas, mais do que mostrar filmes: queremos que este seja um grupo aberto para a comunidade. Naturalmente, após os filmes, tem surgido espontaneamente conversas muito interessantes. A PROSA também está aberta para receber as vossas ideias e sugestões acerca dos filmes que gostariam de ver aqui.
A ideia dos Conversas com Cinema© também passa por empoderar a comunidade através da contemplação e análise de filmes: tanto através da compreensão da mensagem cinematográfica como da reflexão acerca desta narrativa.
Melhor ainda se pudermos ter esta aprendizagem em conta quando temos que tratar dos nossos próprios conflitos humanos!
Vá, vamos abrir o jogo: queremos que o cinema seja uma forma de terapia - "cinema as therapy".
Contamos convosco neste caminho?
Nota: Nos eventos para o público infanto-juvenil, estes devem estar sempre acompanhados de um responsável legal.

Conversas com Cinema© is one of the various programming aspects of PROSA.
At PROSA, we develop educational experiences through the transformative power of visual and narrative arts. And therefore, Cinema could not be left out!
In Conversas com Cinema© Cinema Screenings at PROSA, we show everything from classic films to new releases, but those that are less scheduled or forgotten.
Every two weeks we launch a new Cycle and, amazingly: anyone who is a member of Prosa always has free entry! Tickets for the general public always cost €3 per film, per person.
We show the films on an illuminated pixel (65’’ QLED screen) and in a room with a maximum of 24 spectators. We believe that a message written with light cannot fail to be received by the viewer.
But, more than showing films: we want this to be an open group for the community. Naturally, after the films, very interesting conversations have arisen spontaneously. PROSA is also open to receiving your ideas and suggestions about the films you would like to see here.
The idea of the PROSA cinema screenings also involves empowering the community through the contemplation and analysis of films: both through understanding the cinematic message and reflecting on this narrative.
Even better if we can take this learning into account when we have to deal with our own human conflicts!
Come on, let's open the game: we want cinema to be a form of therapy - "cinema as therapy".
Are we counting on you on this path?
Note: At events for children and young people, they must always be accompanied by a legal guardian.

https://prosacultural.org/cinema/morteedesejoDeath is the inevitable end and desire is what moves our very own existence. For this cycle, we’ll start with two films that represent death and desire as major, intertwining themes.
We shall start with Abbas Kiarostami’s TASTE OF CHERRY (1997), the first Iranian film to win the Palme d’Or at Cannes (ex aequo with Shohei Imamura’s The Eel), A poetic - and devastating - meditation on life, mortality and the weight of individual choice, the film follows a middle-aged man (Homayoun Ershadi) as he drives around the outskirts of Tehran, looking for someone willing to bury him after he commits suicide. The film deals with two things that are taboo under Islam: suicide (mentioned explicitly) and homosexuality (which is only implied and open to interpretation).All Cinema PROSA films will be shown on an illuminated pixel (65’’ QLED screen) in a room with a maximum capacity of 24 spectators.
Come and have a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic drink in the cinema room with us!

https://prosacultural.org/cinema/morteedesejoDeath is the inevitable end and desire is what moves our very own existence. For this cycle, we’ll start with two films that represent death and desire as major, intertwining themes.
The second film, Claire Denis’ masterpiece BEAU TRAVAIL (1999), is, on the surface, very different from Kiarostami’s film. Sensual and colorful (with beautiful cinematography by Agnès Godard), it’s a mood piece about a French Foreign Legion sergeant (Denis Lavant) as he descends into quiet madness over his obsession with a strikingly handsome younger recruit (Grégoire Colin). Repressed desires (and homosexuality) are suggested here in a more explicit fashion than in Kiarostami’s film. In their stunning and unique codas, both films equally dance with the possibilities of art, life and individual choice; when and how to end our own despair. And like all great art, neither film feeds you all the answers; they inspire the most varied interpretations. They’re two of the most beautiful films of the 1990’s, and are ripe for (re)discovery.All Cinema PROSA films will be shown on an illuminated pixel (65’’ QLED screen) in a room with a maximum capacity of 24 spectators.
Come and have a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic drink in the cinema room with us!
