The winners of Lisbon’s International Horror Film Festival have been announced. In an atypical and challenging year, the public returned in force to MOTELX, which took place with enhanced health and safety measures. The 14 th edition of Portugal’s leading genre Festival surpassed expectations, hosting over 20 sold out screenings.

Takashi Miike joined us last night on live streaming for a talk with the MOTELX audience.

The cult director will make an eagerly awaited appearance at MOTELX for a live Q&A with fans at midnight this Friday. It will be possible to follow the conversation (in English) on MOTELX’s social media channels and at a special event in Lisbon’s Cinema São Jorge.
