The documentary Feminismos: A Liberdade de Ser, directed by Ana Sofia Pereira and Vanessa Ribeiro Rodrigues, will premiere on June 26, 2025, at 7:00 PM at Cinema Fernando Lopes, Lusófona University, in Lisbon. The screening is free of charge, subject to room capacity, and will include a Q&A session with the directors.
Produced within the research project FEMglocal – Glocal Feminist Movements: Interactions and Contradictions, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and hosted by CICANT, the film explores the evolution of feminist movements in Portugal. Framed around the organisation and mobilisation for International Women’s Day (March 8), it highlights 28 intergenerational testimonies from activists, researchers, public figures, and anonymous voices.
With a runtime of 1 hour and 17 minutes, the documentary presents a plural and intersectional feminist narrative, combining personal stories, footage from feminist protests, archival materials, and visual activism. According to the directors, it serves as “a gesture of listening, archiving and action”, aiming to promote feminist literacy and public dialogue on equality.
