Doclisboa is known as one of those European festivals where fact and fiction are always intertwined, and the programme concept does not vary between the forms – nor does it pay much heed to running times, as all sections include pictures of all lengths.
In the International Competition, there are 14 films, out of which four will be having their world premieres in Lisbon: Christian Haardt's A New Environment: Heinrich Klotz on Architecture and New Media (Germany), Thunska Pansittivorakul's Santikhiri Sonata [+lee también:

In the extremely varied New Visions section, there are 63 films through which the festival will discuss borders and limits, with titles from different eras that question the contemporary nature of cinema. These include a tribute to Barbara Hammer, retrospectives of Ghassan Salhab and Sofia Bohdanowicz, and recent arthouse hits such as Alain Cavalier's Living and Knowing You're Alive [+lee también:

The main strand of Doclisboa's industry section, Arché, will feature eight projects at various stages of development, hailing from seven countries. The newly established RAW (Residencies, Arché, Work), in partnership with Spanish film festival Márgenes and with the support of the Ibermedia programme, includes three more projects by filmmakers who took part in a six-week itinerant programme and a four-week artistic residency in Lisbon. They will be presented and eligible, together with the Arché projects, for three awards: the Arquipélago – Contemporary Art Center Award for Best Project at the Writing and Development Stage, the RTP Award for Best Project at the Editing Stage, and the Works-in-Progress FCSH Award for Best Project.
Finally, Lisbon Docs, International Financing and Co-production Forum is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The preparatory workshops with 19 projects of all forms and lengths, from five continents, started on 13 October and will culminate in pitching sessions on 18 and 19 October. It is organised by Apordoc – Portuguese Documentary Association and EDN – European Documentary Network, with the support of the Creative Europe MEDIA programme and the ICA – Portuguese Film and Audiovisual Institute.
