CURTAS 28th Curtas Vila do Conde Postponed

The 28th edition of Curtas Vila do Conde, initially scheduled for July 11-19, 2020, was postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19, selecting the 3rd to the 11th of October for its realization.

The uncertainty about the situation in Portugal and Europe, in the coming months, made the festival's organization decide for its postponement. Due to this change, the news about the event's programmatic content will only be released starting in June.
