Lisbon International Film Festival
If it moves us — it belongs in Lisbon.
The Lisbon International Film Festival is a celebration of bold, independent cinema from around the world. We focus on new voices—filmmakers who challenge conventions, take creative risks, and tell urgent stories with authenticity and style.
Rooted in Lisbon’s vibrant cultural landscape, the festival is an internationally oriented underground movement that supports the work of emerging directors, outsider perspectives, and underrepresented communities. We are committed to showcasing films that are raw, thought-provoking, and artistically uncompromising.
There are no red carpets here.
No glitter. No glamour. Just great films.
We value artistic freedom over commercial polish, and we believe that cinema should provoke, reveal, and connect. Our screenings are intimate, our audience passionate, and our selections fearless.
Whether it’s a lo-fi short from a first-time filmmaker or a boundary-pushing feature from the far edges of the industry, if it moves us — it belongs in Lisbon.
