We are again partnering with Queer Lisboa—Festival de Cinema Gay e Lésbico de Lisboa—to bring you over twenty films from its 2012 program for free. The festival, now in its 16th year, is not only the oldest film festival in Lisbon, but it is also the sole Portuguese film festival dedicated exclusively to screening gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and transsexual themed films.

Films will be available from now until the end of the festival, September 29. One particular gem, is Happy Birthday!, an early short by João Pedro Rodrigues, the director of To Die Like a Man who has a new film in the festival circuit this year, The Last Time I Saw Macao, co-directed by João Rui Guerra da Mata. See the full lineup here.

Hello.
Do you have a moment?

We like to think of ourselves as a small coffee shop, and being a small coffee shop we think we should get to know each other a little better. So we’ve got some questions for you. It should only take as long as it would to drink a double espresso…

As a little thank you, we’ll put enough money in your account to watch a film for free… After Life is one of our favorites but then you might not be into Japanese films…

Many thanks,
The MUBI Team
