Recognised with international awards at film festivals around the globe, the cinema from the Portuguese-speaking world is still mostly unknown to the general public. The film fest presents multiple works (documentaries, animations, shorts and feature films), in sessions of several films from different countries.

CITY HOPPING

It has been an exciting ride.

Since the first edition in Kenya, Nairobi, we created a community sharing our enthusiasm for the Portuguese speaking cinema. Shorts, features, documentaries and animation: there have been many formats for the same passion across the World, in many cities and festivals, with multiple editions. 

 

We are always looking to expand and support people wishing to start one in their town.

Lusophone Film Fest Dili - 8th Edition

2025, April 26-27

Dili

On April 26 (Saturday) and 27 (Sunday), Fundação Oriente will host the Lusophone Film Fest – Women & Revolution in Díli. This edition, the 8th held in Dili, highlights female perspectives on the Carnation Revolution (April 25, 1974) – a turning point that reshaped relations among Portuguese-speaking countries – and other revolutions, featuring an exclusively curated selection of films directed by women. The works explore women’s narratives within contexts of political and social transformation.
