BEAST International Film Festival celebrates the best cinema from Central & Eastern Europe, taking place in Porto, Portugal. Through its public screenings, BEAST IFF premieres a highly curated programme including feature films, documentaries, experimental works, short films, and animation. The post-screening Q&As create a space for connecting filmmakers, pioneers, opinion-makers, and the wider audience.

The festival is establishing itself as a complex channel of contemporary culture from Central & Eastern Europe to Portugal, focused on cinema but extending its program with parallel activities such as exhibitions, masterclass sessions, workshops, and unique related industry events.
