A Cidade e os Mapas, de Alexandra Guimarães e Gonçalo L. Almeida

This opening screening of Porto/Post/Doc presents the debut feature film by Alexandra Guimarães and Gonçalo L. Almeida. The film follows Mazharul "Akash" Hoque, a Bangladeshi courier navigating Porto via a delivery platform digital map, and Pedro Figueiredo, an architect and guide who uses old maps to examine urban history outside tourist routes. Though they never cross paths, their journeys reflect a city evolving between labor, tourism, and migration as it readies for São João.

The feature was made with support from the Working Class Heroes grant, a partnership between Porto/Post/Doc and Filmaporto – Porto Film Commission, supported by Fundação "la Caixa" via CaixaForum+.

The screening takes place at Batalha Centro de Cinema on Praça da Batalha. Tickets cost 5 euros, with discounts available for Cartão Porto holders, and the rating is 12+.
