The film of the ‘Travolta’ phenomenon in the realm of 1970s American disco sound. A year later, a book about the actor read: ‘Is there anyone in the entire United States of America who isn't crazy about John Travolta? It seems a sure bet that the simple answer is no.’ With references to James Dean (in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE) and Elvis, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER features a frenetic Travolta, the Bee Gees and the excitement of feverish nights. Showing in digital.
The version of the film shown will be the director's cut for the first time in Lisbon.

Mary Poppins adapts a series of popular stories by British writer Pamela Lyndon Travers about a peculiar nanny who looks after children in London in the early 20th century. Poppins appears at the doorsteps of families with spoilt, whimsical and capricious children and stands out for arriving from the skies on an umbrella and for other little tricks. Poppins “lands” at the Banks family home to profoundly change their conservative life... Produced by Disney, Mary Poppins won, among several other awards, an Oscar for special effects, with techniques that allow real actions to be filmed against animated backgrounds. The session is also part of the “Family Saturdays” programme.

Divided into five sections, each with its own presenter (those named above – with a bow) and ‘dedicated to all dancers... especially those who dedicated their lives to developing their art long before the existence of the film camera,’ as stated in the opening credits, Jack Haley Jr.'s film (son of the Tin Man from THE WIZARD OF OZ) proposes a history of dance portrayed by cinema, from the late 1920s to the 1980s, particularly through musicals (the genre of choice of M-G-M, which produced it). First screening at the Cinemateca, shown in 35 mm.
