Doclisboa returns to Culturgest and reinforces its commitment to the city, Portuguese cinema and its community of creators and film lovers. For ten days, the festival presents more than 180 films selected through a unique and horizontal curatorial model, based on quality and multiplicity of perspectives.

Doclisboa offers a deep dive into diverse cinema, affirming its political, social, and cultural vocation through retrospectives, debates, masterclasses, and workshops. The usual sections: Risks, From Earth to the Moon, Heart Beat, and Green Years join the International and Portuguese competitions focusing on curiosity and concern, showing films that reflect the present and the memory of the planet and its inhabitants — always with eyes on the future. The non-negotiable commitment to art as a fundamental principle, and to the freedom to imagine and build new tomorrows, makes Doclisboa a beacon of creation and reflection, a plural and vibrant space that celebrates the best of world cinematography every year.

In October, there are cinematic roots which propagate through the heart of Lisboa.
