Lisbon International Film Festival 2024
Once a year, Alfama is the home of independent cinema. An historic neighbourhood where the fado is king opens its doors to give voice and space to another artistic expression.
For a week, between the Fado Museum and Escadinhas de São Miguel, more than five dozen films are screened, selected by the demanding and curious eyes of our jury.
An outdoor event because, after all, a movie theater can be anywhere.
