ENCONTROS

Besides encouraging specialized training programs, the dissemination of independent quality films, and the interaction between filmmakers, professionals of the cinema industry, and the audience, Novos Cinemas commits itself to putting in place an environment for discussion on cinema and the cinema industry –a strategic sector with great cultural and economic relevance.

#Encontros intends to be a permanent platform for dialogue; a meeting point where the different professionals of the cinema industry can share their experiences, exchange their know-how, and reflect upon the present and future of cinema.
