Cinema São Jorge
This movie theater from 1950 is now the stage for most of the city’s annual film festivals.

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.
