ALLWAYS NEW, DIFFERENT AND MODERN

 

Every year, a new batch. Every year, new films with new perspectives, bringing with them the sounds, images, feelings and ideas of our times.  Every year, a totally new festival with the latest film production of the world.

 

For the next edition of FANTASPORTO, THE 39^TH OPORTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, hundreds of shorts and features from 54 countries were appreciated, confirming all the vitality of the cinema as a reflection of what is happening in the world but also as a challenge to express on film the point of view of its creators.

Under this year’s theme, THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY, all genres, all colours, people from all over the world meet at the festival. Special moments celebrate the great Classics like Easy Rider, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange e Alien, on the occasion of their anniversaries, reminding us of the full glory of their original big screen exhibition.

Fantasporto begins its competiions on February 22d in Oporto, Portugal’s (twice) Leading European Destination, the city that embraces the river Douro and the Atlantic Ocean, a not-to-miss meeting point for all FILM LOVERS.
