In addition to promoting national films, IndieLisboa also puts considerable effort into establishing links between guests (filmmakers, programmers, distributors, critics and other professionals) and spectators through a professionally enriching programme of side activities: debates, seminars, talks, meetings, parties and concerts. This year’s programme paid tribute to the work of Jem Cohen, Paul Vecchiali, Gusztáv Hámos and Katja Pratschke.
With the support of AC/E the festival screened a selection of recent films enabling audiences to discover the variety of Spain's current production.
