Along with the regular event in cinemas, that will once again have as its central spaces the Municipal Theater of Vila do Conde, the Municipal Auditorium and Solar, the event will promote a set of initiatives in an online format, thus expanding its area of action and allowing the audience and the filmmakers to meet in a safe and close manner. Several sessions in VoD format are programmed, in partnership with Shift72, as well as the holding of debates, interviews and master classes in a virtual environment.

Summer workshops at Solar's patio At Solar - Galeria de Arte Cinemática, the summer will gain movement with practical workshops for families. The workshops will take place in the outdoor patio of Solar, following the safety rules, so that everyone can have fun in a careful way.

This is an exciting plan for a family Saturday afternoon, starting on July 18 and continuing in August on the 22nd and 29th.
