The Carnation Revolution or Revolução dos Cravos was a largely bloodless coup which occurred in the nation of Portugal in 1974. The result of the Carnation Revolution was the toppling of a dictatorship which had prevailed for almost 50 years. After a brief period of turmoil, Portugal emerged as a democratic country, to the great delight of many of its citizens and the world in general.
Bom Povo Português (Orig.) / 1980 / Portugal / 135 min
The film seeks to trace the history from the 25th of April 1974 to the 25th of November 1975, as it was felt by the crew, that during this process, was simultaneously spectator, actor, participante, but above all, found itself totally committed to the revolutionary process underway.

Documentary about the last days of fascism and the 1974 Portuguese revolution. Images and sounds from the past (fascism and liberation days) are mixed together with images and sounds from the present days (free Timor demonstrations).
Outro País (Orig.) / Portugal
The red carnations revolution in Portugal also known as the last romantic revolution of the 20th century was, for many, an unimaginable communist threat. For others, it was a lab of dreams and politics, an exciting place for young people and bright photographers and filmmakers. People like Sebastião Salgado, Glauber Rocha, Robert Kramer, Dominique Issermann, Santiago Alvarez, Pea Holmquist, Jean Gaumy, travelled to Portugal and lived there until the party was over. What is left of this experience?
