The Lisbon Screenings were launched in 2006 at IndieLisboa as a parallel activity designed to promote Portuguese cinema among foreign professionals. With the creation of Portugal Film – Portuguese Film Agency, in 2015, the Lisbon Screenings are now one of the major industry events held during IndieLisboa.
Committed to the internationalization of Portuguese cinema, Portugal Film promotes several actions throughout the year (presence in markets and festivals and screenings for the industry) aimed at getting the films to distributors, festivals and international exhibition networks. Film industry professionals will be able to see recent or unreleased Portuguese films (documentary, fiction, animation and experimental) looking for a world or international premiere and selected for their internationalization potential.
Tthe Lisbon Screenings take place during IndieLisboa IFF, and present a selection of short and feature films (completed or still in development) to festival directors and programmers, sales agents and distributors, amongst other guests invited exclusively to these private sessions.
You can find more information about Lisbon Screenings in each edition's booklet, available here.
