Festival
Doclisboa wants to question the present of film, bringing along its history and assuming cinema as a mode of freedom. By refusing the categorization of film practice, it searches for the new problematics that cinematic image implies, in its multiple ways of engagement with the contemporary.Doclisboa tries to be a place to imagine reality through new modes of perception, reflection, and possible new forms of action.
The festival is interested in films that are rigorous about their conceptual and formal implications; films that experiment with cinema’s artistic and political possibilities and refuse to be categorized; films that engage with and mirror the complexity of the world. Doclisboa offers a meeting space for film professionals and audiences, and a ground where cinema and the contemporary are investigated as acts of being together in, and with, time.
