Lisbon's Mercado de Arroios hosts film cycle on migration and identity

The Mercado de Arroios in Lisbon will host a free film cycle focused on migration and identity from October 30 to November 20. Organized by Zero em Comportamento as part of the Common Roots community project, the event features four films screened every Friday at 19:30.

The program includes the documentary ‘YOON’ by Pedro Figueiredo Neto and Ricardo Falcão, which follows a Senegalese driver traveling between Portugal and Senegal. On November 6, the cycle presents ‘Gaza, Meu Amor’ by Tarzan and Arab Nasser. This is followed on November 13 by ‘Um Ramadão em Lisboa’, a collective documentary exploring Muslim communities in Lisbon during Ramadan.

The cycle concludes on November 20 with ‘Tori e Lokita’ by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, depicting the challenges faced by two African youths arriving in Belgium. The initiative is promoted by Upfarming in partnership with Impact Hub Lisbon, with support from the Allianz Foundation, Auchan Foundation, and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
