Frederick Wiseman Retrospective  RW 
A retrospective of Frederick Wiseman, one of the most important filmmakers in documentary history. Doclisboa will show eleven of his most important films.

New Vision  R&E 
Curator: Augusto M. Seabra
A section aimed at discussing the form and text of films, and especially daring works situated on the frontier between documentaries and fiction, a dialogue as old as the history of cinema itself.

Filmed Diaries and Portraits  DF 
Curator: Augusto M. Seabra
The second and last part of this section will show films that could not be included in last year’s edition, like “Juif Tropical” by Joseph Morder. We also recommend “Une Histoire du Vent”, by Joris Ivens and authors Raymond Depardon, Robert Frank or Nan Goldin.

New Families, New Identities  NF, NI 
Curator: João de Pina Cabral / Sérgio Tréfaut
The jurisdictional view on concepts such as family, marriage, identity and gender has suffered severed changes in these last few decades on several countries of the western world. Today, family has no longer the “crèche” as a model or its traditional hierarchies. Family, identity and the definition of gender have publicly gained larger parameters (that have always existed on a minority level), allowing new forms of liberty to exist. This transformation of manners is often the reason for confrontation, thus opening a path for an abundant documental production that is particularly rich in testimonies and material to reflect on..

Made in China  MC 
Curator: Chen Zhi-Heng
China has produced thousands of documentaries in the last fifteen years. Of all this sea of films, some directors have managed to become major stars in some of the biggest international festivals: Zhang Yuang Jia Zhang-Ke, or Huang Wenhai, for example. This section pretends to trace a portrait of deep China (from 1994 until today) through the look of these authors, focusing most particularly on the relations between the individual and society.

Heart Beat (Musical Program)  HB 
Heart Beat is a new non-competitive section dedicated to the relation between humans and music. It is not a selection of last year’s musicals, but a group of historical or recent films in which music and its universe (in all musical genres) allow us to know something more about human beings and the societies they live in. We will show, among other films: “Black Tears” by Sonia Herman Dolz or “Il Baccio di Tosca” by Daniel Schmid.

Mozambique!  M 

Polish Shorts   CP 

Maratonadoc  MD 
This year’s Marathon is again presented in São Jorge Cinema in the last day of doclisboa, dedicated to documentary lovers with films over three hours long.

The state of Portuguese documentaries
To commemorate Apordoc 10th anniversary, and as a conclusion to this edition of doclisboa, the festival will present several events on the state of Portuguese documentaries.

Docfestas São Jorge
The docparties are associated to the HEART BEAT musical programming, which takes place in São Jorge Cinema.
