Three films, catering to different generations, make up this year’s edition of the Film Series in Honor of Hélder Mendes, organized by the Municipality of Ourique at the Sousa Telles Cinema-Theater. The first screening takes place on November 18 with “Dora: A Magical Adventure Under the Sea” (vp), a showing intended for preschoolers. On the 21st, “18 Holes to Paradise,” by João Nuno Pinto, hits the screen.

The screening is open to the public, admission is free, and Rui Pedro Tendinha will be present for a discussion following the screening. The series concludes on November 25 with “The Woman Who Died Standing,” by Rosa Coutinho Cabral, a cinematic essay on Natália Correia, her life, work, and influence on Portuguese culture.
