Second session of the new Film and Talks programme Modos de Rever: Cinema e o Imaginário do Museu, programmed and moderated by Isabel Lopes Gomes.
Following on from the previous programme, which explored the rapprochement between cinema and the visual arts, this second installment aims to reflect on the representations of the museum in cinema, from different periods in its history to the present day. This session will feature a screening of Jem Cohen's Museum Hours (2012), followed by a conversation with the writer and professor of literature Clara Rowland and the writer and researcher José Bértolo, moderated by Isabel Lopes Gomes.

Vienna, winter. Johann, a guard at the grand Kunsthistorisches Art Museum encounters Anne, a foreign visitor called to Austria due to a medical emergency. Never having been to Austria, she wanders the city in limbo, taking the museum as her refuge. Johann, initially wary, offers help, and they’re drawn into each other’s worlds. The museum is seen in the film not as an archaic institution housing historical artifacts, but as an enigmatic crossroads in which, through the artworks, a discussion takes place across time with vital implications in the contemporary world.
