PORTO FEMME SESSIONS
Feminine Cinema Cycle – 20th Screening
31.07- 22h
Sala de Espetáculos

Every last Wednesday of each month, the Maus Hábitos screens thematic cinema cycles in which the common denominator is films directed by women. The objective is to give visibility to the work of women in the film industry, through the projection of their works and, whenever possible, their presence in the sessions, promoting the encounter between the public and the authors.
This month we present a program based on the second edition of the Porto Femme International Film Festival, which took place from the 18th to the 22nd of June.
This program includes award-winning films, as well as team favorites and others of importance for various reasons. The purpose is to present a sample that is representative of the program presented, as well as of perspectives and genres.

NOT AN ISOLATED STORY
Portugal, Brasil | 20’ | Documentary | 2017 | DOCUMENTARY SPECIAL MENTION - NATIONAL COMPETITION
Director: Marta Pinheiro
Producer: Gabriela Menezes
Synopsis: Violence against women is more usual than people think. The film is developed in four stories of violence, suffered by four different women, who complement each other. The first woman is stalked and death threatened, the second is held in false imprisonment, the third woman undergoes an abortion because of physical violence and the fourth story is based on the testimony of a woman who has a relative who murdered his wife in front of the couple’s baby son. Among the scenes, clippings of reports of several other abused women. All the stories and testimonies are real facts, but they are not isolated stories.
