Porto/Post/Doc Film & Media Festival is a nine-day festival that screens more than 130 films throughout different programmes, turning Porto's most iconic venues into vibrant epicenters of film discovery. The festival is committed to showcasing critical and artistically ambitious cinema, with a particular emphasis on films that push the boundaries of documentary filmmaking. Our program, including film screenings, forums, masterclasses, and literacy initiatives, has been consistently committed to nurturing cross-border dialogue, engaging guests and audiences from different backgrounds.
