This is a sensitive and personal reflection that questions the way hospitals think spaces of care for the most vulnerable ones. Recounting her personal story as a young girl who spent her childhood in rehabilitation centres alongside her severely disabled father, the director confronts her traumatic memories with the exceptional experimentation developed at REHAB in Basel by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. Proposing highly specialised treatment for physical and neurological disabilities, this hospital has become a model of a kind thanks to its holistic approach of rehabilitation addressing with the same level of attention physical care and mental wellbeing.
Presented by Manuel Henriques.

Bêka & Lemoine Film Series
As part of the public programme for the exhibition Homo Urbanus. A Citymatographic Odyssey by Bêka & Lemoine, MAC/CCB is hosting the Bêka & Lemoine Film Series, in partnership with the Cinemateca Portuguesa – Museu do Cinema.
From December 2024 to February 2025, the Small Auditorium at the Centro Cultural de Belém will screen five films from the Living Architecture series. This series seeks to develop a perspective on architecture that moves away from conventional representations of our architectural heritage. The artists’ intention is to allow architecture to engage in a dialogue with us, based on an interior viewpoint that is both personal and subjective. Unlike most films about architecture, these works invite viewers to immerse themselves in the invisible bubble of daily intimacy surrounding contemporary architectural icons. This experience presents a new way of viewing architecture, broadening its representational scope.
On 11, 12, and 14 March, the Sala M. Félix Ribeiro at the Cinemateca Portuguesa will host the screening of three films, each focusing on a different city as seen through the eyes and stories of three architects: Tokyo by Ryue Nishizawa, Bangkok by Boonserm Premthada, and Mumbai by Bijoy Jain.
In addition to the film screenings, the series will feature presentations by a range of special guests, to be announced shortly. On 5 March, the Small Auditorium at the CCB will premiere Homo Urbanus Lisboetus, in partnership with RTP. Following its debut, this film will be included in the exhibition Homo Urbanus. A Citymatographic Odyssey by Bêka & Lemoine.
