The SANTACURTAS'18 will be held, once again, in the House of Culture of Santa Cruz / Quinta do Revoredo, in Santa Cruz.

Our annual project was created in 2015 and presents itself as a distinctly contemporary reinterpretation of a Film Show, which took place in the 1990s in this same space. This new approach intends to implement a cinematic dynamic of continuity and appreciation of our cultural pole. We intend to provide the opportunity for a different movie experience, exchanging ideas and sensations, in our open-air auditorium, against the background of the sea and the Desertas Islands, listening to the sweet murmur of the waves in the rolled rock, at the same time as the farmer can contemplate the gardens of this old holiday farm.
The aim of the Film Festival is to present short films and documentaries that are outside the commercial circuit, alternative and author, contributing to the creation and training of new audiences and, at the same time, filling the lack of an alternative cinema that satisfies an audience more demanding.

It's already Friday! By 9:30 pm, we will have the Premiere of SANTAcurtas, with a special focus on Portuguese cinematography! Show up is free!

The Fabric Live Science Center (FLSC) celebrates on July 19th its 14th anniversary with the presence of Manuel Heitor, Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education.

On a joyful day and with a free program of activities open to the whole community, FLSC will also count on the presence of Paulo Jorge Ferreira, Rector of the University of Aveiro (UA), and Rosalia Vargas, president of the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture-Living Science.

As a result of a partnership between the UA and the Live Science Agency and installed in the former Aveirense Mill Plant with the great objective of spreading science and promoting scientific and technological culture, the Fabric has already received around half a million visitors over its 14 years of existence, thanks to a program that includes diversified activities, in different formats, allowing various levels of interaction with audiences of all ages.

Pedro Pombo, director of the FLSC, recalls that behind all the work carried out over the last 14 years "is a team of professionals of scientific dissemination and a wide group of researchers, fellows and teachers of the UA." "The involvement of the AU is a unique and valuable cinematic condition that guarantees the Factory rigor, innovation, quality, responsiveness, specificity, dynamics and diversity in all its contents, inside and outside the doors ".

Development of programs open to all who visit the Factory is only one of the three lines of action of the institution coordinated by Pedro Pombo. This "consists in the creation and development of contents or valences for the implementation and dynamization of the annual program of activities". As a second line of action, the provision of services and itinerant programs arises based on the commitment to take out of doors the contents that exist in the exhibition spaces of the Center.

"We believe that this way it is possible to involve more public in science, which for various reasons may not have the availability, access or resources to go to the Live Science Center of Aveiro. This component also promotes the development and dynamization of annual educational projects", explains Pedro Pombo.

As a third line of action comes the "development and marketing of products". This was created taking into consideration that the Live Science Center of Aveiro is an integrated structure in the AU, a situation that for Pedro Pombo "allows the accomplishment of a collaborative work between the Plant and the various Units of the UA, in order to create value added with technical and scientific potential and thus leverage a unit dedicated to the production and commercialization of science communication products".

The Instantaneous try again to surprise and dare us with their new show Nocturnus. An original creation that intends to explore and to merge in the literary universe of Edgar Allan Poe, with the esoteric scenery of the Quinta da Regaleira from July 20th to August 18th, every Friday and Saturday at 11:59 pm.

A fun poetic incursion into the romantic environments of his literary work, which will inspire the creation of fantastic tales, completely improvised and ephemeral as the night. This show is co-produced with CulturSintra Foundation.

"All that we see or seem, is nothing more than a dream within a dream." Edgar Allan Poe.

The last days of Edgar Allan Poe's life are shrouded in mystery. After disappearing, in circumstances yet to be explained, Poe is found wandering in the street, completely out of his mind and in shock. The hours before his death were spent in mental delirium and deep madness. Even today, answers are sought about where he will have been and what he will have seen during his enigmatic absence. Nocturnus, proposes to take the audience on a dream trip, to the dark universe of the American writer and through his own eyes, finally unveil this secret. Could Poe get lost in the dark? Or was it the darkness that got lost in Poe?

A trip without limits, designed for a wide audience with different musical tastes by the DJ set of RIOT.

RIOT's music is always an exploratory journey through the latest urban sounds, but always with a very strong foundation. Based on what together with Branko, Kalaf, Conductor and Blaya, he created, the so-called Lisbon sound with clear influences in the Portuguese diaspora from where the Buraka Som Sistema came about.
From Afro-house to Hip Hop, from Kuduro to Drum'n'Bass, as long as it makes sense, you're sure to be on a RIOT set.
With a clear concern to spread what is best in music in Portugal, the set contains many remixes, exclusive bootlegs made by himself and even some originals ranging from versions of Buraka, Carlão, Slow J, MGDRV, among others.
