This year Desobedoc returns to Cinema Trindade (Porto) in full force to celebrate freedom to think and act through the insubordination that summons us.
Between the 22nd and 25th April begins the marathon celebrations of the 50 years of the revolution that will run until 2026.
The last edition of Desobedoc insubmissive film festival was held in 2019, an online version was held in 2020 and in 2021, Desobedoc was absent.
This year, under the theme of the “beginning of the end” of the regime, the programme will address the anti-fascist struggles (student, workers, housing, women’s, health, political), the colonial war and the anti-colonial struggle (including desertion), with particular focus on the political cycle that began in 1972, and also current for the reflection of the political situation today.
The Festival is co-hosted by transform! europe and Bloco de Esquerda.
