DOCS
This is the area of Talkfest - Music Fest Summit where ideas and experiences are passed through film form.
The screening of documentaries and interviews has a fundamental role in the way we evaluate, analyse and observe experiences and events within the cultural spectrum and the festivals and festivities context, being an important programming room that brings together professionals and the general public.

Festival da Canção – 60 Anos (1964-2024)
(53’ | PT | 2024)
Some love it, others hate it. Some know every detail, while others barely know it exists. There are devoted fans who watch it with passion and those who only tune in for the final to criticize it. The truth is, after 60 years, Festival da Canção continues to exist and stir emotions. From love to hate, it always provokes a reaction. If we think about it, aren’t its songs part of the memories of the Portuguese? Maybe even our own. Now, as we celebrate its 60th anniversary, RTP presents a journey through the world of Festival da Canção, stopping at the sounds and images that have undoubtedly shaped not only the contest’s history but also Portugal’s—and perhaps even our own lives; even if… suddenly… we don’t quite remember it.
17h00/17h55
Ressaca Bailada – Filme Concerto
(54’ | PT | 2024)
A concert film by “Expresso Transatlântico.” A grand house, deeply marked by the passage of time, standing atop an imposing and untouchable “altar.” An individual relationship with freedom, unity, and/or the lack of it. A celebration of tradition—questioning it, challenging it, pushing it to its limits—on a path illuminated by music.
18h00/18h20
