Portuguese President springs a surprise at the Blood´less Revolution premiere

Lisbon's Cinema São Jorge hosted the advance premiere of Revolução (sem) Sangue, in a screening that brought together the director, the cast and the crew alongside guests drawn from the most varied circles The big surprise of the evening was the presence of Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the President of Portugal. Just weeks before the celebrations marking 50 years since the 25th of April, the 1974 Carnation Revolution that ended the regime, the night became far more than a premiere: it was a meeting point between memory and cinema, with different generations and sensibilities gathered in the same space.

The head of state praised the film's courage in humanising the victims, giving them back a face and a story beyond the names recorded in the history books.
