Doclisboa seeks to imagine reality through new cinematic forms of perception, reflection and action, placing filmmaking into dialogue with its history to question the present of cinema. Doclisboa is interested in films that are rigorous about their conceptual and formal implications; films that experiment with cinema’s artistic and political possibilities and refuse to be categorized; films that engage with and mirror the complexity of the world. Doclisboa offers a ground where cinema and the contemporary are investigated as acts of being together in, and with, time.

The Cavern Club: The Beat Goes On

Christian Francis-Davies, Jon Keats

2019 • United Kingdom • 69’

Founded in 1957 by young jazz aficionado Alan Sytner, who sought to recreate his beloved Parisian jazz clubs, and famous for being the place where The Beatles played 292 times, the self-proclaimed ‘greatest club in the world’ survived two closures and was tragically demolished, only to be rebuilt brick-by-brick. After many highs and lows, it is back to its former glory, hosting artists like Jessie J, The Arctic Monkeys and Adele.
