Portuguese Cinema Posters

The exhibition 'Portuguese Cinema Posters' is on display at the Casa das Imagens Lauro António in Setúbal from 18 May to 26 September 2026, and can be visited throughout the month of July. It is a showcase dedicated to the memory and graphic art associated with the history of national cinema.

Film posters are much more than advertising pieces: they are objects of design, illustration and communication that reflect the spirit of each era. This exhibition brings together a collection of posters documenting decades of Portuguese film production, revealing the aesthetic evolution, printing techniques and the way films were presented to the public.

Casa das Imagens Lauro António pays tribute to filmmaker, critic and cinema advocate Lauro António, a key figure in Portuguese audiovisual culture. The space is dedicated to preserving and promoting cinematographic heritage, making it a must-visit for film buffs and culture lovers.

As they move through the exhibition, visitors can rediscover landmark titles of Portuguese cinema and explore the work of the artists who created these memorable images. The show is an excellent opportunity to understand the relationship between cinema and the visual arts, on a path that blends nostalgia, history and creativity.

Part of the Setúbal Municipality's cultural programme, this exhibition complements the city's tourist offer during the summer, giving visitors an enriching cultural alternative. Entrance is free, and it is advisable to confirm the venue's opening hours before visiting.
