INDIELISBOA is a privileged event to meet the most recent and interesting works of independent cinema from all over the world. The main aim of the Festival is to discover new films and new directors, in the universe of independent cinema.

InIndieLisboa is by now, the biggest film festival in Portugal, not only because is the festival that attracts the biggest audience (35.500 people in the last edition), but also because it’s the one that presents more films (226), makes more screenings (265) and uses more screens (9)
