development

The CPC was founded in Lisbon in 1969 by a group of filmmakers. Founding members were: António-Pedro Vasconcelos , António de Macedo , Alberto Seixas Santos , Alfredo Tropa , Artur Ramos , Fernando Lopes , Fernando Matos Silva , Gérard Castello-Lopes , José Ernesto de Sousa , José Fonseca e Costa , Manuel Costa e Silva , Manuel Faria de Almeida , Manoel de Oliveira , Manuel Ruas and Paulo Rocha . Later, in addition to technicians, other directors were added, including António da Cunha Telles and, after discussions, the enfant terrible of Portuguese film, João César Monteiro .

Fernando Lopes became the first chairman in 1970, followed by Paulo Rocha from 1973 to 1975.

The Gulbenkian Foundation, an important Portuguese cultural foundation, had not dedicated itself to cinema since it was founded in 1956. The young filmmakers in Portugal criticized this. The CPC was born out of this thought . The Gulbenkian Foundation significantly supported the establishment in order to have a point of contact in the future with whom it could align its beginning film funding to the needs of the active. It was founded in the legal form of the cooperative .

The Gulbenkian Foundation secured funding for the first 3 years. In 1971 the CPC produced the first film " O Passado eo Presente " (Past and Present) by Manoel de Oliveira, followed in the same year by " O Recado " by José Fonseca e Costa , " Pedro Só " by Alfredo Tropa, and " Perdido por Cem "by António-Pedro Vasconcelos .

With a decree of June 5, 1973, the Estado Novo Ministry of Information created the " Instituto Português de Cinema " ("Portuguese Film Institute", IPC ). The IPC (today Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual ) was financed by a tax on cinema tickets and henceforth took over the financing of the CPC .

As a result of the turbulent changes after the Carnation Revolution and ideological differences, the CPC continued to fall apart .

In 1978 the CPC officially ceased its activities.
