AMPLA returns to Culturgest for its fourth edition with a handful of films awarded in 2024 at the main national festivals, such as Curtas Vila do Conde, IndieLisboa, MOTELX, MONSTRA, Queer Lisboa, among others. It is, therefore, a unique opportunity to see the best national and international cinema today, in a transversal program that brings together short and feature-length films, documentary, horror, and animation films, without overlooking sessions dedicated to younger audiences (also open to schools). Alongside these, there will be a workshop linked to cinema and a discussion dedicated to the topic of audiovisual accessibility.

To be as inclusive as possible, all films are shown with descriptive subtitles, interpretation in Portuguese Sign Language and Audio Description, inviting everyone to enjoy the sessions. Some relaxed sessions that take place in a more relaxed environment are also included.
