BEAST International Film Festival celebrates the best cinema from Central & Eastern Europe, taking place in Porto, Portugal every September. Through its public screenings, BEAST IFF premieres a highly curated programme including feature films, documentaries, experimental, short films and animation works. The post-screenings Q&A create a space for connecting filmmakers, pioneers ,opinion-makers, and the wider audience. The festival is establishing itself as a complex channel of contemporary culture from Central & Eastern Europe to Portugal, focused on cinema but extending its program with parallel activities such as exhibitions, masterclass sessions, workshops and unique related industry events such as Visegrad Film Hub or BEAST Co-Production Hub.
The 6th BEAST Festival of Central & Eastern European Film will take place between 27 September – 01 October 2023.
