Regarded as the most emblematic film theatre in Lisbon, recipient of the Municipal Architecture Prize in 1951, Cinema São Jorge remains the Festival’s main venue, where most of the films will be screened, as well as other actitivies like masterclasses and workshops.

The collaboration between MOTELX and the Portuguese Cinematheque - Museum of Cinema is pivotal to the origin of the Festival, having hosted in 2005 the "Zombies - The Living Dead" cycle, still when CTLX organised several activities as a film club. Throughout MOTELX's latest editions there have been special screenings in the many locations the Cinematheque holds, before, during and after the Festival.

With its activities at Palácio Foz, Cinemateca Júnior, a project of
Cinemateca Portuguesa – Museu do Cinema, was created in 2007 with special programmes for children and youngsters.

The Museu Coleção Berardo is a museological reference in Lisbon, where the visitor can enjoy the best of modern and contemporary art. For the past two editions of MOTELX, the partnership established with the Museum has presented to its audience short film screenings aimed for the younger crowd, as part of the Big Bad Wolf section, followed by activities inspired by the works of the entity's current collection.

Espaço Projeto Bússola is a polyvalent space based in Travessa do Rosário in Lisbon that bets on academic, leisure, civility and creativity components and has the main goal of guiding young people into better citizenship.
