The XVII Jornadas Cinema em Português are organized by LabCom – Comunicação e Artes, with the support of the Department of Arts and the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the University of Beira Interior. Since the first edition, in 2008, the Journeys have focused on discussing cinematography from territories where Portuguese is the official or dominant language, seeking to integrate these works as an example of the new artistic, cultural and socio-economic dynamics that have marked the years most recent. Reaffirming its own history, this seventeenth edition of the Jornadas Cinema em Português aims to analyze and debate current and relevant issues for reflection on the cinemas of the different countries that speak Portuguese, seeking to bring together efforts to test hypotheses for joint and complementary reading.
