Cinema
The Cinema in Portugal has arisen at the end of the XIX century, with Aurélio Paz dos Reis, that was responsible for the first Portuguese films, being known as the cinema’s father in Portugal. After the first Aurélio Paz dos Reis’ work presentation, many works inspired by the international cinema appeared in the following years.
