Porto/Post/Doc

22 - 30 Nov 2024

The 11th edition of Porto/Post/Doc: Film & Media Festival revolves around fundamental questions about Europe and its democratic values. Can we still believe in them? Who is defending them? We are witnessing a regression of freedoms, ideas and democracy amidst endless cycles of war and invasion. How can we process this partial information and imagine a future Europe where political equations seem to lead to violence against the disadvantaged?

The main programme of the festival, 'The People's Movement', will be presented in three editions. Starting with 'Europe doesn't exist, I've been there' in 2024, followed by 'The time of a journey' and 'The land of others' in the next two editions. Other highlights include the Tour d'Europe with award-winning Swiss co-productions, the revolutionary 'Ideal Cinematheque of the World's Suburbs' and a retrospective of Georgian films by Salomé Jashi.

The festival also includes several competitions: International, Spoken Cinema, New Cinema, Working Class Heroes and Transmission, all reflecting contemporary perspectives on memory and society through a political and artistic lens.
