Melancolias Revolucionárias

This film cycle, inspired by Enzo Traverso's 2015 book *Melancolia de Esquerda*, explores the memory of leftist struggles and the possibility of reclaiming socialist ideals through cinema. Screenings feature politically committed artists who place equality at the center, reflecting on past defeats and the political actions they demand.

Each Monday evening, the program presents a diverse selection of films that engage with history in a political and poetic way, stimulating critical thought. From Silvio Tendler's *Utopia e Barbárie* to Ken Loach's *Terra e Liberdade*, the cycle spans documentaries, dramas, and experimental works that question the traces left by revolutions.

Held at Casa da Achada – Centro Mário Dionísio in Lisbon, the series offers a thoughtful journey through revolutionary cinema. Attendees can expect a curated experience that blends historical reflection with artistic expression, making it a compelling destination for film enthusiasts and those interested in political thought.
