Programmatic pillar Creation – Imagined Territories

Curated by Ana Rocha

Walk oriented by Eduardo Brito

Cinema had been in existence for less than a year. In 1896, at Largo da Corujeira, the filmmaker and florist Aurélio da Paz dos Reis filmed a cattle market. Barely two seconds of moving images survive, in which we see indistinct figures, silhouettes, impressions. Who might they have been? What other images lie behind these images? In cinema, all kinds of fiction are possible. From the florist’s nursery house on Rua Barão de Nova Sintra, the journey takes us to the spot where Aurélio the filmmaker set up his camera in Corujeira. As in a detective story, there will be encounters and missed connections with stories of cinema and cinema in the city.
