Refinaria has organized audiovisual screenings since 2006.
The Social em Movimentos film festival, co-produced with the French NGO Autres Brésils, focuses on contemporary social issues. Featuring Brazilian and French documentaries and animations (but not exclusively), each festival follows a specific theme. Each day focuses on one issue related to the theme, and at the end, the floor opens for a debate among the audience and invited speakers from both countries.
The Portuguese Contemporary Film festival brings to Brazilian audiences the best Portuguese cinema productions, recent feature films and shorts that have stood out. It provides a panoramic view of the variety and richness in Portuguese cinema, which featured every year in many international festivals, but was practically unknown in Brazil.
