MEET OUR VENUES
Batalha Centro de Cinema
Batalha Centro de Cinema’s mission is to promote cultural knowledge and engagement through film and the moving image. Their programme includes retrospectives and themed cycles, with a focus on contemporary practices and the connections between film and other arts. Central to our activities is our wish to nurture film culture, via education, publishing, training, and debate.
Cinema Passos Manuel
Passos Manuel is a mythic place in the alternative and artistic circuit in Porto, it counts with an exclusive and unique program, where one can mix the feeling of the dark cinema room with the cosmopolitanism of the vibe of Porto’s nightlife.
Cinema Trindade
One of the oldest cinema rooms in town, Cinema Trindade, was re-flourished with the re-opening in 2017, bringing back cinema to the city center. Ever since, one can watch the best indie and author cinema here, as well as the coolest cinema festivals and special screenings with special guests.

Casa Comum
A place for sharing knowledge (cinema, exhibitions, literature and cultural seminars), aimed at and participated by the entire academic community of the University of Porto, but also by the city. It has a physical space in the historic building of the Rectory of U.Porto, but it also lives in the extended space of the internet (www.up.tp/casacomum), where it regularly publishes podcasts on culture and science.
OKNa
The place where it all started, being the festival headquarters, main information center and a meeting point for all festival goers. OKNa – From Proto-Slavic *okъno (“window”) – is a cultural center dedicated to providing artistic programming, residencies and educational projects while establishing a close cooperation between Eastern Europe and Portugal. Engaging with artists, researchers, and other cultural actors, the space celebrates CEE as an invaluable source of contemporary culture, researching and curating the New East.
The festival is set to be a safe space where all people regardless of race, gender, social background or sexual orientation can equally enjoy and participate in all events and the vibrant cultural life of Porto.
