Ohe major festivals — Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Locarno, few others — choose world premiere films, attract journalists from all over the world and, in this way, guarantee their works instant global exposure. The others, the vast majority, do not have such vast ambitions, they are made for local audiences and are happy if they manage to attract them. Leffest, which opens this Friday and spreads across Nimas, São Jorge, Culturgest and a few other resorts, belongs to this category. Let’s see what comes next. In the official competition, the most recent films by Richard Linklater (“Blue Moon”), Christian Petzold (“Miroirs No. 3”) and Ildikó Enyedi (“Silent Friend”) stand out, in a small forest of works that you want to discover and that arrive from Iran, North Macedonia, Iraq, China, the United States, the world… Among them the Portuguese “Entroncamento”, by Pedro Cabeleira, with good echoes of Cannes.
