Cine-Teatro Turim · Lisboa
A two-bedroom in Benfica for 600 euros? In this Lisbon, that's basically fantasy, and Vicente Alves do Ó mines it for sharp comedy. Apartment viewings, tiny salaries, and the fight to stay in the city.
November 8 at 6pm (This weekend) +3
MACAM - Museu de Arte Contemporânea Armando Martins · Lisboa
Portuguese contemporary artists get the close-up they deserve: five Sunday screenings of Luís Alves de Matos documentaries, each followed by a chat with the director and the artist, inside a deconsecrated chapel turned arts bar.
November 9 at 9pm +3
Casa da Achada –Centro Mário Dionísio · Lisboa
Guuseppe Morandi focused on people rather than bricks and stones, returning voice and dignity to those around him through photography. Inspired by that attitude, Casa da Achada hosts a film cycle featuring directors and collectives intimately connected to their subjects.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
