Recognised with international awards at film festivals around the globe, the cinema from the Portuguese-speaking world is still mostly unknown to the general public. This 240 million people linguistic community is a thriving one, promoting over 80 film festivals and cinema awards every year, with movies mostly consumed in the respective countries. The Lusophone Film Fest is a showcase of the diversity of film production in the eight Portuguese-speaking countries spread across 4 continents. The film festival presents multiple works (documentaries, animations, shorts and feature films), in sessions of several films from different countries. The Lusophone Film Fest runs sessions in Nairobi (Kenya), Zanzibar (Tanzania), Bangkok (Thailand), Sydney (Australia), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Macau (China), Geneva (Switzerland), Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh) and Delhi (India)
