The Lisbon& Estoril Film Festival celebrates Cinema as an artistic creation, setting
light, above all, on its capacity to embrace each artistic field and on the
fascination it exerts on the other arts.
Since 2007,
the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival has established itself as one of the
biggest cultural events in Portugal. For its 9th edition, running in 2015 from
November 6th to 15th, the festival is getting ready to gather, once more, the
best of what is being done in the world of cinema.
Every year,
LEFFEST innovates, while preserving its essence: by paying homage to major
personalities through retrospectives or full presentations and, meanwhile,
giving voice to rare filmmakers who kept their production unscathed by the
pressures of the movie industry; by exposing creations of artists whose works
are prominently associated to the industry and at the same time opening new
paths and audiences to the production of new talents.
Experiences
and reflection is what the LEFFEST provides both on the Silver Screen – with an
eclectic program that covers the best cinematographic productions, both
acclaimed and emerging – and Live, through numerous artistic expressions,
concerts, performances, masterclasses, debates and lectures.
In 2015,
LEFFEST will be counting, as since its first edition, on the presence of
international stars and key-players of Arts, Cinema and Literature who will
share their experiences and visions with the audience.
With this
ambitious aim and program of the highest order, handpicked by a team who lives
and breathes cinema everyday, Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival will again put
Lisbon, the Estoril Coast and the whole country on the world’s film festivals’
circuit.
