Novos Cinemas offered a Carte blanche to Porto/Post/Doc: Film & Media Festival. An avant-garde project that in seven years of life discloses an inherent ability to map the routes and diversions that characterize the relationship between reality and contemporary cinema and audiovisual, while develops an enviable socio-ideological commitment to its environment.
The artistic director of the festival, Dario Oliveira, will show and put into context the selected film, A Nossa Terra, O Nosso Altar (2020), by director André Guiomar, Emerging Filmmakers Award of the International Competition of Porto/Pos/Doc 2020.

Our Land, Our Altar witnesses the latest daily routines in the Aleixo social housing, in Porto, marked by the tension of a forced destiny. Between the fall of the first and the last tower, the demolition process has dragged on for years, leaving the lives of the residents in suspense. Obliged to accept the end of their community, they watch helplessly the slow disfigurement of their past.
