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.

Open call for filmmakers!

Be part of the 6th edition of Breaking Walls Dance Films.

Breaking Walls Dance Films (BWDF) is the first and only dance film festival in Egypt and the region. Since 2021 we have screened 129 films from more than twenty countries, and we programme deliberately towards work that rarely reaches Egyptian screens — recent editions have introduced audiences to films from Tunisia, Malta, Hungary and Indonesia.

The 6th edition runs 10 to 20 January 2027. Screenings take place in Cairo and, just as importantly, outside it — in Minya, Mansoura, Sohag and Qena. In several of those governorates, our screenings were the first time dance film had ever been shown publicly. Every screening is free and open to the public, and every selected film is shown at least [...]

GUARRA, the First Buenos Aires International Kinky Film Festival has an unmistakable purpose: to give visibility and celebrate a culture that has historically been marginalized and stigmatized.
This festival is not simply a cinematic event but a space for meeting, exploration, and artistic expression for those who live and create within the kink spectrum.
Our mission is to challenge and dismantle the prejudices that often surround kinky and BDSM practices by presenting authentic, diverse stories that capture the multiple dimensions of this culture. Each film selected for the festival will provide a window into the realities and
experiences of people within the community, offering perspectives that are rarely represented in mainstream cinema.
