In 2023 Doclisboa is back with its 21ª edition between 19 and 29 October; we believe in the strength of documentary films and in Doclisboa as a fundamental space in the consolidation of cinema as part of the city’s culture, offering a program that triggers reflection on important and global issues, with a focus on international and world premieres of films from all over the world. Hundreds of guests are present and bring their energy and experience to the festival that gathers a diverse public, engaged and committed with moments of encounter, reflection and debate that bring the complexity of the present time. Doclisboa collaborates with cultural entities throughout the year in an effort to decentralize access to cinema and internationally with different partners with whom we work for a more sustainable, egalitarian and conscious world.
In this cenarium, we believe that an internship at a pioneering and far-reaching festival such as Doclisboa – which for two decades has been building one of the main platforms for the dissemination of documentary and author cinema, and which today is more than a film festival, growing as a plural and vibrant space that fosters creation – is a great opportunity. Doclisboa in 2022 had 220 film screenings and 246 films, the 4th edition of Nebulae, a industry networking space, which brings together activities, opportunities and people dedicated to the development of creation, production and dissemination of independent cinema. This program includes ARCHÉ – Professional Activities Laboratory; Filmmaking Seminar; Consulting Sessions, Round Tables and Masterclasses, Happy Hours, cocktails and parties. This said, we consider it is a unique opportunity to understand the functioning of this structure and live to have an in-depth notion of the universe of cultural management/production.
This year we’d like to host one or two students interested in collaborating with our Guest Office and Industry department.
