dc.description.abstract	Currently, due to the advancement of digital technologies, artists are able to “play” music and video in “real time” — in audiovisual performances that can be described as: live cinema, veejaying, glim, etc. The live cinema genre can be explained as a cross between the tech niques of veejaying (mixing videoclips in real time) with the goal of cinema (telling stories through moving pictures). However, the act of mixing and improvising the video in “real time”, creates challenges for creating a coherent narrative. This is article is based on the performative experience of Moda Vestra —a collective of artists from the Algarve (Portugal)— and it is divided in three sections. The first traces a state of the art related to this phenomenon known as “live cinema” — relating it to other similar formats and concepts that have appeared throughout history: silent cinema, cineconcerts, visual music and veejaying. In this section, we briefly review two recent live cinema performances “Super Everything” by The Light Surgeons and “Everything Is Going According to Plan” by Adam Curtis with Massive Attack. The second section analyzes in detail the concept, morphology and work methodology of the collective Moda Vestra — which faced challenges when trying to create a coherent narrative for its real time performances. In the third section (conclusion), we propose a narrative structure that can be used in future “live cinema” shows. This “formula” is based on the “three act structure” for cinema, developed by authors like Syd Fleld	pt_PT
