Fantasporto
Fantasporto: The
biggest Portuguese film festival, featuring mainly horror and
fantastic movies, starts tomorrow. I’m looking forward for this
year’s edition and will try to post about the films I get to see.
The Oporto International Film Festival is held annually
in February and goes now to its 23rd edition. The first edition of
FANTASPORTO, as the festival is usually known, was held in 1981
…
The Festival runs now in 4 screens (2.500 seats
alltogether) and shows over 200 new feature films each year, in the
Official Competitive Section (Fantasy films), Directors Week
(non-fantasy films), Music Videos section and in the Retrospective
Sections (general). The press coverage of the Festival is made by
all the national and local newspapers, radio stations and
television networks. This allows pressdossiers of nearly 5.000
clippings each year, which represents a unique media coverage in
Portugal for similar cultural events.
