Technology is a component present in the definition of cinema. The technological evolution felt in the film industry allows, throughout its existence, new ways of producing cinema and for it to be seen by different media and in different environments. Starting from a historical background of technological evolution in cinema, from film to digital, from television to VHS or DVD, until the emergence of streaming platforms, there are several changes that have impacted the entire film industry. These shifts are experienced at a very fast pace, with no maturation times, which leads to a general instability. Digital distribution and exhibition have played an important role in this climate of uncertainty, by bringing new possibilities and changing the audience's habits. By doing so, they opened a discussion that challenges the ways of thinking, making and perceiving cinema. This project consists of the present report and a documentary with the participation of Portuguese directors, which aims to gather their views about the current panorama of distribution and exhibition in Portugal. The focus on the figure of the director is justified by their influence throughout the creative process and on the final product itself. The goal is to understand how Portuguese cinema perceives and responds to the changes in the distribution and exhibition market, and how it can benefit from these trends.
