Porto Femme : Awards of the 9th Edition

On April 26, Porto Femme wrapped up another edition. For seven days, we filled the streets of Porto with joy, smiles, and plenty of films along the way!

 

To everyone who was able to join us throughout the week, thank you! And to those who couldn’t be there in person but followed us through our various platforms, we send you a warm embrace. We hope you’ll have the chance to visit us in Porto in a future edition!

 

This festival is made by people and for people. Without your support, our fight would not carry the same meaning. May Porto Femme continue for many more years to come! And may we keep bringing the invisible to life on the screen!

 

Thank you for being part of this beautiful story!

The festival’s closing ceremony is the moment when we present the Porto Femme awards! Each competition category had its moment in the spotlight, with the jury members stepping onto the stage to announce the winning films. Even though not all winners were able to attend, they shared their messages with us — and we were delighted to pass them on to everyone who joined us for this special moment.

 

Congratulations to all the films that were part of the competition!
