Welcome to the 9th edition of Frames Portuguese Film Festival: Frames Landscapes 2022.

When people talk about Portugal, they often mention its landscape. But how many landscapes are in a country? And how has Portuguese cinema depicted its own geographic features over the years?

In this edition, FRAMES proposes a trip to LANDSCAPES, and the enormous diversity of natural, rural or urban scenarios: a river, an ocean, a mountain, a forest, a neighbourhood, a favela. Where there is a permanent state of movement, transformation, renewal. Ultimately, observing landscapes means thinking about time and space, and often translating inner lives.

FRAMES LANDSCAPES is about a sense of belonging (or the lack of it), about vanishing worlds, about the multiplicity of realities inside one same territory and, above all, about (human) nature. So let’s celebrate the best of Portuguese cinema – together.

More on the Frames Portuguese Film Festival
Frames - Portuguese Film Festival started in 2013, as an initiative from UngFAPS – Association of Portuguese Youth in Sweden. Over the years, it has gained strength and reached different cities within Sweden, establishing itself as a recurring part of the their cultural life.

The Frames Portuguese Film Festival aims at becoming a significant cultural gathering platform in the cities where the festival takes place. We seek to promote the most recent, original, and creative content within the Portuguese cinematographic panorama and to introduce new and talented Portuguese filmmakers to the Swedish public. We grasp the idea of cinema as a gesture of resistance against banality and inequality, and our bet is on author and independent cinema, capable of defying conventions and preconceived ideas.
