Events

In 1996, the Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre joined the Porto Alegre City Council Department of Culture and SESC to hold the International Conference "O Cinema do Fim ao Começo" (Cinema from End to Beginning), which brought the Italian filmmaker Ettore Scola to Porto Alegre.

However, the only event promoted regularly by Casa de Cinema since its foundation, in 1987, is the traditional End of Year Party of the Casa, which is already part of the cultural agenda of Porto Alegre.
