The Shortya International Film Festival aims to bring independent cinema to the foreground while supporting emerging filmmakers from all walks of life.

Taking place since 2023 in the beloved place Gato Vadio, Shortya has become a yearly meeting point for cinephiles, filmmakers and industry professionals. Attracting a young audience of Porto and foreigners.

Films run the gamut of genres from fiction films and documentaries to music videos and animated movies. We welcome all filmmakers whether experienced or beginners to show us their artwork and become part of our diverse screening programme.

The Shortya Internacional Film Festival is organised by Ramaldar Productions, a pioneer organisation that runs Film Festivals and other events showcasing and championing ideas of diversity. Through our global series of film Festivals we open the path to voices with a compelling story to share. Our main mission is to honour independent cinema and establish a network of artists eager to join forces and spread their work across all nations.
