Since 1987, Fipa is the festival for international audiovisual creation that defends different creative genres: drama, series, creative or investigative documentary, performing arts, transmedia and new talent.

6 days to meet professionals, directors, viewers and students while discovering the year’s best programs.

This festival is a platform for discovery and debate, a calendar highlight and annual meeting place for television professionals, but also for evermore members of the general public, with attendances increasing each year.

In May Porto opens its doors to the monochromatic aesthetics. The Black & White - International Audiovisual Festival, which receives video, audio and photographs in black and white, will take into competition works from all over the world.
With unique worldwide characteristics this initiative grew from the need to answer to the audience's growing sensitivity to black & white specificity, leaving behind the prejudice that relates this aesthetics with works of early cinema.
But the festival shows more than videos and photos in two colours, it also encourages the creation of sound environments referring to the black and white.
Over four days, several activities related to the audiovisual world will be carried out in addition to the competitions: artist talks, screenings and extensions from other international festivals. The nights will also be exciting with a broad cultural program.

The Streaming Festival is an art event for independent artists exhibiting unconventional audiovisual art from all over the world.

This event takes place once a year. Anyone with an internet connection can plug into a festival stream from any location, at any given time and start watching contemporary art and films.
