Event intelligence
Know before you go
Entry wait
Batalha tickets went on sale on 20 October, while Casa Comum screenings are free but admit guests in arrival order. Arrive early for free sessions and use the official venue ticket information for paid screenings.
Best arrival time
Choose a daytime Batalha screening for the widest ticket-office window, or arrive well before a Casa Comum session if free entry matters most. The festival finishes with the Saturday closing party at Pérola Negra.
Attendee mix
A Porto and international audience of queer-cinema viewers, filmmakers, volunteers, students, community organisations and visitors interested in LGBTQ+ culture and discussion.
Dress code in practice
No dress code is published. Comfortable cinema and conversation-ready clothes suit the daytime programme; check the closing-party venue's current guidance if attending Pérola Negra on the final night.
Host and security inclusion
The festival is explicitly dedicated to queer cinema and themes, and its official programme works across screenings, guests and community participation. Casa Comum's free entry model also lowers the barrier to joining the festival.
