IndieLisboa’ 15

From the 23rd of April to the 3rd May, the 12th IndieLisboa – International Independent Film Festival brings ten days of continuous film sessions to Lisbon’s cinemas.

This year the festival will have two major guest stars: Mia Hansen-Love and Whit Stillman, who will be in Lisbon presenting their work.

The festival is divided into several sections:

International Competition – long and short films consisting of motion pictures that had no previous publicly viewings in Portugal and that were completed in 2014 or 2015.

National Competition – with long and short Portuguese films completed in 2014 or 2015, with preference for those premiered nationally and/or internationally.

Silvestre – it brings together works by young filmmakers and by established authors, with their uniqueness as the starting point and merging the previous sections: Observatório, Cinema Emergente e Pulsar do Mundo.

Novíssimos - a competition dedicated to the discovery of new Portuguese assets, either students of this art or self-taught fearless artists taking their first steps in cinematography.



Indie Junior – this crucial IndieLisboa’s section is dedicated to the younger audience. This year IndieJunior has prepared a special moment in addition to the cinema sessions and workshops for families and schools that take place throughout the festival: a party for all ages on the first Sunday, the 26th of April.

Indie Music – it consists mostly of documentaries on the pop music scene, indie rock and its protagonists.

Director’s Cut – composed of recently restored vintage films, or rediscovered films that reflect on cinema as an artistic expression or its history.

Special Sessions – consisting of renowned filmmakers’ films.
