Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival

Logo of Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival

Curtas Vila do Conde – International Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals in Portugal, reaching its 35th edition in 2027.

The festival will be held from 9th to 18th July 2027 and its main objective is the promotion of audiovisual and film production, selected according to quality criteria, at an event which focuses not only on the discovery of new films and directors, but also on the legacy of cinema.

Fiction, animation, documentary, and experimental films no longer than 60 minutes (unless otherwise noted), produced in 2026 or 2027 are eligible for the various competitions.

Out-of-competition programmes will highlight not only a selection of worldwide contemporary short films but also the relations between shorts and features, music and film, art and cinema.

The 4th International Diverse Film Festival marks a new chapter in the artistic and curatorial evolution of the festival. Under the concept “Revealed Memory,” this edition explores cinema as a living archive capable of preserving stories, identities, emotions, and experiences that have shaped the ways we understand diversity.

Rather than defining the selection criteria, “Revealed Memory” serves as the curatorial framework that inspires this year’s festival. We welcome fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, and hybrid short films that explore the diverse experiences, perspectives, and narratives of LGBTQIA+ communities across a wide range of genres, styles, and artistic approaches.
