In 2021, Porto/Post/Doc: Film & Media Festival will inaugurate a new discussion space named Call to Action. This forum will discuss urgent contemporary themes: nature preservation, ideas for a healthier life, activist narratives, gender freedom and identity policies, among others. The forum will include three conversation sessions, between the 24th and 26th of November, always at 11:00 am, at Casa Comum. These conversations are free of access and will be streamed through the festival's social networks.
Participating in this forum are collectives of independent journalists, young activists, filmmakers and professionals who have made a difference in the approach to fracturing themes. Among several guests, we will have the participation of the indigenous leader and activist, Ailton Krenak, the teacher Elsa Cerqueira, the Gerador Platform, the youngsters from the Student Climate Strike Group, Constança Carvalho Homem, a programmer at the Queer Porto/Lisbon Festival, and the magazine Divergente.
The three conversations have as their starting point some of the films from the 2021 program. This new forum thus appears to create a meeting point for the most active and reactive sectors of the local and national community, amplifying the festival's commitment to the struggle for social justice and for sustainability.
