Sessão da Tarde (English: Afternoon Session) is a Brazilian television program on TV Globo that shows movies on Monday through Friday afternoons. Launching on 5 March 1974, it is one of the most enduring movie screenings.

Opening theme

5 March 1974 – 1989: The first vignette has many pictures, and at the end the letters fly off the screen, setting up the logo. This was followed by an instrumental before the next vignette. During the 1989–1990 Christmas season, the block was temporarily replaced by Festival de Férias (Holiday Festival).
1990–1999: In this opening a rainbow in the sky appears under the names that make up the logo (gold color) and at the end, the rainbow and the sky are transferred to a dark background and form the logo.
1999–2004: The opening was updated: The rainbow was replaced by translucent colors. The clouds and the animation of the logo were redone. The first version aired from 1999 to 2000, the second version came up in 2004, with the logo looking like the Globo glass.
2004–4 October 2013: The source became a translucent blue, while the logo's letters revolved around a rainbow in the sky. By forming the logo, the rainbow is combined with the first word.
7 October 2013–Present: The opening changed identity and arrangement. The lines of varying sizes are scattered and change the color of the background and at the end the bands form the new logo.
