Doclisboa is the only film festival in Portugal that is exclusively
dedicated to documentary films. In 2007, during the fifth edition
of the festival, Doclisboa took advantage of a renewed interest
in documentary films on the part of portuguese audiences and
managed to attract numerous and enthusiastic viewers to the
halls of Culturgest, Londres Cinema and São Jorge Cinema. Documentaries
were “the talk of the town” and a new awareness was created
about the genre’s enormous richness, diversity and potential.
Doclisboa also aimed to break new ground and focus on the vast
diversity and vitality of this cinema of reality.
In 2008, the festival main objectives are:
To
show Portuguese audiences important, award-winning international
films which have not yet been screened in Lisbon;
To allow a more profound reflection upon contemporary and
current themes;
To acquaint audiences with cinematic works from other countries
in a more systematic manner;
To organise debates that mobilise the public around important
films and common themes present in diverse works.
