Dear Asian filmmakers, the Porto/Post/Doc Film & Media Festival (Portugal) is accepting documentaries until August 31, 2024.

About the festival:
Porto/Post/Doc takes place annually over the course of ten days in venues across downtown Porto, and consists of international contemporary and retrospective “cinema of the real”. The film selection is guided by a rigorous concern for new forms of cinematic expression that extend and test the boundaries of what is possible in nonfiction cinema, and is also never averse to exploring the non-fictive edges of fiction. Crucially, in its programming Porto/Post/Doc makes no distinction between the two camps, allowing contemporary cinema to inhabit a space that draws from both practices. And yet, it draws its core identity from its complex relation to the “the real”.

Eligibility:
– The Festival is open to documentaries, experimental documentaries and innovative visual productions close to documentaries.
– Documentaries must be over 50 minutes in length.
– Films must have been produced between 2023 and 2024.
– The Festival gives priority to World and Portuguese Premieres.
– Films that have already been shown in Portugal or on Portuguese television are not eligible for selection unless specific authorization is given by the Selection Committee.
