And the last film festival of the year is… DocLisboa – The International Documentary Film Festival. Closing out the season of film festivals in Lisbon, the 6th edition of DocLisboa will take place from the 16th to the 26th of October at São Jorge Cinema, Cinema Londres, and Culturgest. A total of 150 films will be screened at those three spaces, showing the realities of different parts of the world and opening up discussion about current topics.

There will be awards for the best long documentary film, best short documentary film, and a prize to the director with the best first documentary film, an incentive to continue going forward with a genre that has captured more audiences every year.

Some of the films to be shown have already been awarded major prizes, such as “Entre Les Murs”, by Laurent Cantet and Steve McQueen’s “Hunger” at the Cannes Film Festival.

Each screening at DocLisboa will cost €3.50 and you may check the entire line up at the official website www.doclisboa.org.
