Lisbon Village Festival
After MOTELx and the Queer Lisboa film festivals GoLisbon has already told you about, here comes another major festival that also covers cinema. This time it’s one showing only digital films, along with other activities throughout the month.
It’s the Lisbon Village Festival, a cultural event that combines film, exhibitions, and music. The first edition was in 2006 to provide greater visibility to artistic projects using telecommunications technologies and information. It has a cosmopolitan nature, showcasing talent from around the world.
This is the third year, and it has begun with an exhibition about the life and work of Charlie Chaplin, one of cinema’s pioneers. The artist’s daughter, actress Geraldine Chaplin has come to Lisbon to see it, and you’ll probably want to do the same before the 29th of September when the film festival starts.
It’s an international competition, with this year having seven all-digital features by directors who have been invited to be present at the event. Also shown will be a showcase of Spanish films, with several tributes to that country’s established actors. The screenings take place in Cinema City inside the Campo Pequeno arena.
The festival ends with a huge party where top national DJs provide the soundtrack during the meeting between the public and all of the festival’s artists on October 4th.
See the festival’s official website for more details about the entire event.
