Traversing Portuguese cinema since 1986, REAL FICÇÃO today celebrates 40 YEARS of a legacy of resistance.
Founded by filmmaker, producer, and distributor Rui Simões, the production company was born with its eyes on the world and its feet firmly planted in Portuguese reality, turning audiovisual media into a tool for social, political, and cultural intervention. Responding with resilience to the structural irregularities of the sector, its filmography has consolidated a focus on the peripheries, minorities, historical memory, and Lusophone communities, where cinema is more than just an image: it is a stance.
Anticipating a change of headquarters, the launch of a new website inaugurates a stage of renewal and underscores a commitment to the future. The new platform makes available the vast catalog that the production company has been producing and distributing over the years, making it more accessible to the public, researchers, and programmers, with options for streaming, consulting works, archives, and discovering titles that span documentary, fiction, and other hybrid languages. More than a digital storefront, this new page asserts itself as an intuitive and natural extension of a commitment to the circulation of Lusophone cinema, reinforcing the mission to intervene in the world through the sharing of stories.
