Fifty years after 25 April 1974, Luciana Fina revisits the images of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, drawing on the archives of the Cinemateca Portuguesa and RTP. Starting from the films of the era, SEMPRE rethinks the transition from fascism to liberation and the process of building a new country, crafting its emancipation and future. It is a tribute to cinema that has interfered in history and breathes new life into an extraordinary moment in time. The film covers the chokehold of the Salazar Regime and the PIDE (International and State Defense Police), the student occupations in 1969, the Armed Forces Movement in 1974, and the dreams, programs and perspectives of the PREC period (Ongoing Revolutionary Process), as well as the “Verão quente”, or Hot Summer of ’75, and decolonization. Above all, it reintroduces us to the gestures of great filmmakers who sprang into action, together with artists, songwriters, composers and radio directors.
