Porto/Post/Doc is an international film festival devoted to documentary, created two years ago. It has an iconic philosophy of programming: an international competition of documentary films that assume itself as potentially hybrid, mixing also with forms of fiction. However, the main objective of the festival is to create the biggest cinema happening of Porto (the second biggest city in Portugal), claiming that the history of the city is also part of the history of the Portuguese film culture.
The third edition will be held from 26 November to 4 December in Porto’s downtown. Porto/Post/Doc will present a selection of more than 60 films, which will be accompanied by debates, master-classes, Q&A sessions and many other events. It will be an encounter between the public and professionals, a unique experience of sharing and artistic enjoyment over nine days.
AC/E supports in this year edition the Foco España, with the participation of Andres Duque, Mauro Herce, Eloy Dominquez Serén and Oliver Laxe. The festival includes, every year, a section devoted to recent Spanish documentaries entitled Cinefiesta. In the first year, Cinefiesta was fully programmed by filmmaker Lois Patiño; in the second, the festival programmers chose the films. For the third edition, it aims to expand the section, providing the screening of four feature film sessions and three sessions in partnership with Spanish film festivals. The planned schedule is as follows:
Feature film screenings:
⁃ Oleg y Las Raras Artes, by Andres Duque
⁃ Death Slow Ahead, by Mauro Herce (produced by Jose Alayon)
⁃ No Cow on the Ice, by Eloy Domínguez Serén ( plus the short film Rust, also by Eloy Domínguez Serén) (produced by Felipe Lage)
⁃ Mimosas, by Oliver Laxe
Partnership screenings
⁃ Play-Doc – Festival Internacional de Documentais de Tui Program
⁃ Mecal, Barcelona International Short and Animation Film Festival Program
⁃ CurtoCircuito International Film Festival in Santiago de Compostela Program
(These sessions consist of a European short film program including a Spanish film, framed in the other thematic sections of the festival, such as Transmission, Teenage, Doc is the New Black, Sensory Cinema, etc.)
This program represents 10% of all sessions of Porto / Post / Doc and is constitutes a very important moment of the festival. Associated with this program, the festival will also have Spanish guests, primarily directors of the present films, but also programmers of festivals, academics, journalists and filmmakers in the Fórum do Real.
