IndieLisboa presents: New Cinema from Portugal

IndieLisboa definitely ranks among the most exciting young film festivals. Founded in 2004 by committed enthusiasts, it has already become Portugal’s most important film festival and gained high international reputation. Intelligently and ambitiously curated, IndieLisboa shows what is currently causing a stir in international cinema, presenting so-called “Independent Heroes” (like recently Werner Herzog, Jacques Nolot and José Luis Guerín) as well as the newest Portuguese short and full-length films. Each year in April, one can make numerous discoveries in the universe of independent cinema in Lisbon. Arsenal is delighted to offer the highly regarded colleagues of IndieLisboa a platform to present their festival in three programs comprised of current films from Portugal – short and full-length films reflecting a broad range of genres and styles that have never before been shown in Berlin.
