Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival

Logo of Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival

Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals in Portugal, reaching its 35th edition in 2027.

The festival will be held from 9th to 18th July 2027 and its main objective is the promotion of audiovisual and film production, selected according to quality criteria, at an event which focuses not only on the discovery of new films and directors, but also on the legacy of cinema.

Fiction, animation, documentary, and experimental films no longer than 60 minutes (unless otherwise noted), produced in 2026 or 2027 are eligible for the various competitions.

Out-of-competition programmes will highlight not only a selection of worldwide contemporary short films but also the relations between shorts and features, music and film, art and cinema.

Feature film festival

The FIC AUTOR (Author's International Film Festival) is interested in unique and artistic films that exceed the limits of traditional storytelling. We look for Feature and Short Films that reflect the director's personal creative vision, and a style that is distinct enough to shine through the collective process.

WE ONLY CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOW IN YOUR FILM, how CREATIVE you are and how you tell the story, that's it. We don't care if your film has recognized stars or unknown names, if it was shot with an Arri or a DSLR, if it has been accepted to a thousand festivals or none. We don’t base our decisions regarding your gender, sexual orientation, color of your skin, or ethnicity like other festivals. We are against the politics and bureaucracy that flood the film industry. [...]
