Cinema São Jorge
This movie theater from 1950 is now the stage for most of the city’s annual film festivals. A renovation in 2001 kept the original interior and facade and brought its three screening rooms back into operation. The popular independent film festival IndieLisboa happens here in the spring; the gay and lesbian film festival Queer Lisboa is every September; and documentary, Italian, and French film festivals are scheduled at other times throughout the year. From its balcony on the top floor you have a view of Avenida da Liberdade’s famous pavement designs.
