Planos Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
Planos Film Festival is an international short-film festival held in Tomar, Portugal, and active since 2016. It is notable for turning Tomar into a meeting point for short-form cinema, screening hundreds of shorts from more than 50 countries and often serving as the Portuguese premiere for films that have already played major international festivals. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its role as a curated showcase for new short cinema and as a platform that helps bring international titles to Portuguese audiences.
