The Choir is a project of the Porto Jewish Community.

Anyone who walks through the streets of Porto could not imagine that in the middle of Rua Guerra de Junqueiro is the largest Synagogue in the Iberian Peninsula, the Kadoorie – Mekor Haim Synagogue.

An international jury awarded this feature film the Augusta Grand Prize for best film, the Augusta Prize for best director (Luis Ismael) and the Augusta Prize for best actor (Rodrigo Santos).

O trailer será apresentado em 30 de dezembro de 2023 e a produção cinematográfica inteira terá estreia mundial em 19 de abril de 2024.

The trailer will be presented on December 30, 2023 and the world premiere of the film will take place on 19 April 2024.

The choir began on the initiative of two founding members, Luciano Moura and Yonah Yaphe and its conductor Leonardo Mendonça, in Porto in 2020.
