Our Mission
We acclaim emerging directors, screenwriters and filmmakers from all over the world and amplify their work by bringing together a diverse audience to experience and reflect on it, and engage in further dialogue.
Our community exists at the intersection of a broader, more inclusive, cinematic gaze and the emergence of truly exceptional cinema.
If films are the content, Alfama is the form that sets the tone for the experiences we create. An architectural somatisation of intimacy, this is the scene in which we invite your films to make their appearance.
Our Story
in 2009 as an informal project to showcase independent cinema in the recondite alleys of Alfama, projected against its iconic stone walls.
In the following years, Cinalfama matured and became a competitive event of an international character, as well as a cultural reference in Lisbon.
The nature of the events has changed over the years, but the atmosphere, films and venues remain as intimate as they have always been.
Our Home
Founded in 1914, Grupo Sportivo Adicense is one of the oldest and most authentic remaining symbols of Alfama’s true soul.
World famous fado singers started their careers waiting tables at this historical institution – one that still stands in the face of constant change and mischaracterisation of the neighbourhood’s urban landscape
Screening Sessions
Tucked into the backstreets of Lisbon’s old town, Alfama, our intimate screenings take place in the city’s oldest cultural house, Grupo Sportivo Adicense.
We host three seasonal screening editions throughout the year, to showcase and award the best talent and films of each one. These are free entrance and all films have English subtitles.
Due to the current pandemic and associated restrictions, we have decided to host next January 2021 edition online, making available a selection of the very best films of the season. Aiming to have live screenings back real soon.

The organisation refers to the term of « nomadic and poetic images » in order to emphasise the moving, multiple and reflective nature of the images it is interested in.
For 2022, the Festival Oodaaq will mostly be dedicated to video art. The videos, at the very heart of its programme, will be presented in screenings of programmes with several works, in exhibi- tions, autonomous installations, windows, and lounges.
Every year, in order to enrich its research and reflections, the Festival also gives carte blanche to local and international partners.

The “Juna Kino” International Young Film Festival is an exhibition platform that brings together, based on an annual call, short films, documentaries, reports and music videos made by children and adolescents from all over the world. It is an independent cultural initiative conceived and developed by the Paso Libre Collective, whose objective is to articulate cultural and artistic projects that directly affect the community.
This festival arises as a response to the need to provide a space for younger creators, who see the cinema as a way to express their concerns.
At present, young people are highly attracted to audiovisual materials, so this characteristic will be used in their favor to involve them in the problems and themes that they generally do not perceive or attend to because they do not consider them of interest.
In 2016 we had our first edition, with more than 20 short films that were collected around the world. An audience of more than 12,000 people was reached, with 6 screenings at the Cine Morelos and 15 screenings in secondary schools in the state.

The 5th International Documentary Festival of Epirus or as it became known WEST SIDE MOUNTAINS DOC FEST started in 2017 with its first edition in 2018 and the second in 2019 in the Municipality of Karaiskaki of Orini Arta. The main thought and intention of those of us who were involved in the establishment of the Festival, was the creation of an important cultural event, in one of the poorest, but also most inaccessible areas of Europe. An area of incredible natural beauty, which starts from Agrafa and the valley of Acheloos and reaches almost to Arta. The festival completely achieved its goals and so its third edition in 2020 was the one that established it, that developed spatially and spread throughout almost all of Epirus. A spread that became a reality with the participation of the Municipalities of Karaiskaki, Central Tzoumerka, North Tzoumerka, Pogoni, Preveza and Arta. The support of the Society of Greek Directors, many associations, Brotherhoods, local Federations, the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, but also other organizations contributed to this, with the most important development being the granting of the Ministry of Culture for this fourth period.
So we can be proud that in four seasons our Festival has managed to attract more than a thousand films from more than 120 countries. And we still have a lot to do. Finally, it should be noted that with hard work and minimal resources we managed to make the festival loved by the people and every day more and more, to be established as an internationally renowned cultural event, away from the big urban centres. We have managed to strengthen the view that even the most remote areas could appropriate and integrate the culture of cinema and especially documentaries. We managed to prove that on the occasion of this festival, opportunities can be created for the development of cultural institutions, as well as alternative tourism in our country. A place that needs to take a step forward and free itself from the degraded cultural "status" that haunts it and holds it hostage to bad taste and the commercialization of absolutely nothing.

It is when the world is going through difficult times that we want to bring a little positivity and concentrate children in a creative direction. Dream and shoot!
