Curtas Vila do Conde is associating itself with Agência's initiative "Short Films for Long Days" with a program that celebrates the short film format and presents some of Curtas' productions over the past few years, from international authors and national authors, thus enabling the (re)discovery of these works. These films count as an important feature a connection to the northern region of Portugal, and some of them even have a direct relationship with Vila do Conde, where they were filmed. This program makes it possible to discover not only part of the recent history of the festival, but also the region where it takes place.

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. With this decision, the deadline for the submission of films for the competitions was extended to the 30th of June (except Curtinhas, that is still the 30th of April 2020).

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.
