The ICA partners with the Garden Cinema to present a 12-film retrospective curated by Instituto Rouanet, commemorating 60 years of L.C. Barreto Film Productions, Brazil’s legendary production company, helmed by the renowned family of filmmakers.

Rooted in feminist modes of creativity and production, Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s debut brings to life the remarkable Martinican writer and activist Suzanne Césaire.

For the sixth straight year the ICA Cinema partners with independent film production unit Terratreme to present a selection of contemporary Portuguese cinema.

Peter Brook acquired the rights to Marguerite Duras’s bestseller, Moderato Cantabile, as a vehicle for Jeanne Moreau whom he had directed in a theatrical production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. But the endeavour was much more collaborative than many filmic adaptations of Duras’s work.

In his sixth feature, Matías Piñeiro crafts a hypnotic tale of artistic awakening as two women compete for the role of Isabella in a local production of William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure.

Join us for this summer-long season dedicated to the best in contemporary Portuguese cinema – programmed by the ICA with pioneering production house TERRATREME.
