It is the most important programme of the festival. The competition brings to Porto twelve feature films, from various and diverse geographical origins, that represent the current state of documentary as a genre that has been gradually contaminated by fiction. The competition screenings begin on the 5th of December and each film will be screened twice between the 5th and 13th, being a unique opportunity to to witness how documentaries nowadays manage so many different themes and have so distinct approaches on how to frame realities.
