With enhanced health and safety measures yet the same DNA, MOTELX returns to Lisbon’s Cinema São Jorge between 7 and 14 September, after 3 days of open-air Warm- Up events. The 14th edition of the Lisbon International Horror Film Festival approaches an atypical 2020 with a special programme on racism and the horror genre, films by Pedro Costa, a record number of films directed by women and many suggestions for 8 days of collective catharsis.

3-5 September

After an unforgettable midnight visit to Portugal’s Ancient Art Museum in 2019, MOTELX once again delivers unique and improbable artistic encounters during the Warm-Up weekend that precedes the Festival, bringing together major names of the Portuguese arts in three open-air events with free entrance.

MOTELX, NOS Audiovisuais, and Ghostsong pictures have 10 double invitations (5 for Lisboa and 5 for Porto) to give to KEEP ME COMPANY's premiere.

KEEP ME COMPANY marks the big return of Portuguese cinema to the big screen!

In a time of social confinement, MOTELX decided to resurrect the microSHORTS Award to see how far imagination and horror can go trapped between four walls.

Make a horror microSHORT of up to 2 minutes with your mobile phone or tablet and send it to films@motelx.org. The winning short film will be screened at the Closing Ceremony of MOTELX - Lisbon International Horror Film Festival's 14th edition! Submit your films until 2 August, with no fear.
