Since its 1st edition in Barcelos in 2008, the ART&TUR Festival has effectively fulfilled its mission of making known to the world the best audiovisual productions in Portugal and in the world.
As a forum for sharing experiences, the ART&TUR Festival has achieved a high international recognition, thanks to the quality and quantity of films that it distinguishes annually, as well as its integration into a worldwide network of similar festivals: CIFFT (International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals) that annually elects the best tourism film worldwide, among all the films that travel the international circuit of 16 festivals.
From 2018, ART&TUR Film Festival rights were transferred from APTUR to Centro de Portugal Film Commission (CPFC). Associated to this change, and thanks to an agreement between the CPFC and the Regional Tourism Entity of Center of Portugal, the ART&TUR Festival will now be held in the Central Region, roaming through the various municipalities of the Center of Portugal.

We hope everyone has fun and enjoys themselves at the festival but a few suggestions...
Please submit as soon as possible. The process goes a lot smoother if we are not sent a lot of films at the last minute. THANKS!
This is a short film festival for films 20 minutes or less in length.
This year, we are strongly encouraging entrants to submit a link to private YouTube or Vimeo screener not a hard-copy of the film. If you must submit a hardcopy please use a paper DVD sleeve. When packaging, protect the DVD in a padded envelope, or similar package. Please DO NOT send your dvd in a slim, jewel, or standard DVD case, they almost always break in shipping.
Please note that the ONLY difference in the early submission deadline versus the final submission deadline is the fee discount. The submission process and consideration by the Programming Committee is not affected by the date you submit your film as long as it is postmarked by our final deadline - your chances are equal regardless of the day your film makes it into our offices, as long as it is postmarked by the final deadline!
ALL films submitted to the festival are seen and scored by two or more different programmers. All films that have a higher average, or are a favorite of a programmer, go on to final deliberations. GeNerk selects its films by majority vote and nothing is offered early acceptance.
Film Submissions are non-returnable for any reason.
If a film is accepted, entrants will be solely responsible for delivering their exhibition video materials to and from the festival venue. Complete press kits will be needed as soon after notification as possible. GeNerk cannot be held liable for your exhibition print/video materials which are lost or damaged.
Please note festival dates are subject to change.
Unfortunately, GeNerk does not provide room, board or travel for filmmakers.
El Festival de Cine AVANCA obtuvo el primer lugar en el concurso de 2011 de los festivales de cine de apoyo patrocinados por el ICA/Ministerio de Cultura.
A lo largo de todos estos años, se ha desarrollado una programación temática adicional, que ha dado espacio a la proyección de obras importantes del cine contemporáneo, debidamente encuadradas en preocupaciones y/o objetivos bien definidos.
El AVANCA es conocido como un espacio para talleres impartidos por personalidades del cine mundial y, al ser más que una «clase magistral», ha permitido una práctica cinematográfica única. Todos los años organizamos talleres en los que participan participantes de toda Europa. Los medios de comunicación han escrito que esta es la mayor área europea de talleres profesionales en el campo del cine.
AVANCA es el único festival que reúne una competición internacional de cine, obras del ámbito de la televisión, el vídeo y nuevos soportes multimedia, con una preocupación especial por exhibir las mejores producciones mundiales realizadas en cada categoría.
Desde la primera edición, el festival solo acepta películas inéditas en Portugal.
La competición de estreno mundial es única en nuestro país y solo fue posible porque Avanca se convirtió en un punto de paso de autores inéditos y películas de gran calidad. Las películas que se estrenan mundialmente en el festival, independientemente de la categoría presentada, también participan en la Competición de Estrenos Mundiales.
AVANCA es el festival portugués con el mayor porcentaje de películas inéditas de todo el mundo que se proyectan aquí por primera vez.
Desde 2010, organizamos la conferencia internacional de cine AVANCA | CINEMA, convirtiéndose en la conferencia más importante en el campo del cine en la Península Ibérica. Esta conferencia reúne a ponentes y participantes de todo el mundo.
Las exposiciones temáticas, las ediciones de libros, las presentaciones bibliográficas y varios proyectos han marcado estos últimos 10 años de AVANCA con la calidad que el festival y los participantes, obviamente, exigen.

Este festival tiene como objetivo crear un punto de encuentro y al mismo tiempo una plataforma de exhibición para público, profesionales y realizadores de todo el mundo, para ayudar a la promoción del documental y sus autores en un formato fresco y directo.
EL FESTIVAL:
El Festival Internacional de Cine «Cinema Povero» está abierto a todo el mundo: cineastas ricos, cineastas pobres de cualquier género o religión, todos bienvenidos siempre que hayan desarrollado una idea hermosa y original con un presupuesto limitado.
Ahora en su 24º año, el Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de 24 fps se ha ganado la reputación de presentar algunos de los programas de exposiciones más singulares y desafiantes del circuito de festivales.
La misión de 24fps es celebrar y alentar a los estudiantes y a los cineastas independientes. Los programas de proyección pública del festival están diseñados para destacar tanto al creador como al propio trabajo. Todas las películas expuestas son presentadas por un comentarista y los cineastas que asisten tienen la oportunidad de hablar con el público del festival al final de la exposición de su película.
Las películas se exhiben en la tercera parte de programas comisariados. Todas las películas se proyectan en el recinto ferial del festival, el emblemático Teatro Paramount, que figura en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos de Estados Unidos.
