Cinema no Estendal/ Cinema on the Washing Line is a cinema for the streets of Lisbon, in its 5th year and 8th edition. We celebrate the stairs, the washing lines, the neighbourhood life, the art and the underwear of the neighbours.

At the beginning and end of summer, short films and videos are projected on a washing line somewhere within the small neighbourhoods of Lisbon and on the washing lines of other towns around Portugal.
