Olhares do Mediterrâneo - Cinema no Feminino
Olhares do Mediterrâneo - Women's Film Festival is an international film festival of films made by Mediterranean women directors. The 7th edition of the Festival took place in Lisbon, Portugal, on November 25-29 2020, at Cinema São Jorge.
Apart from the films, the Festival offers a diversity of cultural activities that take place during the whole festival at the same venue. A call to submissions for the 7th edition is on until May 15.
After a successful first edition, in 2014, the film festival made an upgrade and took it to the competitive level.
In 2019, the Festival changed its name (and logo) to OLHARES DO MEDITERRÂNEO – WOMEN'S FILM FESTIVAL
