Lisbon Screenings are private screenings for the film industry of a selection of new Portuguese films looking for a world or international premiere. It is an activity for all festival programmers and artistic directors, sales agents, distributors and other film professionals. In 2020, the event had more than 100 professionals attending from all over the world.
Organized by Portugal Film – Portuguese International Film Agency, it is an activity that aims to give visibility to the most recent Portuguese cinema and promotes contact between directors and producers with professionals of the international film industry. Many of the films shown in past editions had their premiere in major festivals such as Berlin, Rotterdam, Cannes, Locarno, Venice and Sundance, among others.
