42º Fantasporto
Event
The city of Porto, a beautiful Baroque city, capital of northern Portugal, overlooking the Douro River and considered one of the "European Best Destinations", has been hosting one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world for 42 years. Held annually since 1981, there are always ten days to celebrate cinema and, where the world of cinema and a loyal audience merge into a multifaceted programme, with an emphasis on fantastic cinema. It's no wonder that alongside a horror film, an intimate drama, documentary and auteur film are screened. There are 6 sections, four of them competitive and that "feed" off the latest world productions from about 50 countries per year and that bring to Porto a total of 100 to 150 films, between short and feature films, and all of them premiering in Portugal.
