Event Details
In September, at Avenida Café-Concerto in Aveiro, we present the 3rd cycle of a program based on the 2nd Edition of the Porto Femme International Film Festival, which took place from June 18th to 22nd.
This program includes some team favorite’s films and others highlighted by several factors. The purpose is to present a sample that is representative of the program presented, as well as of perspectives and genres.
This includes 3 short fictions and 1 animation coming from Lebanon, Hungary, France and Afghanistan.
Porto Femme Sessions are thematic cycles in which the common denominator is films directed by women. The objective is to give visibility to the work of women in the film industry, through the projection of their works and, whenever possible, their presence in the sessions, promoting the encounter between the public and the authors.
