About the event
IndieLisboa runs 29 April to 9 May 2027, eleven days rather than a long weekend. It is an independent film festival spread across cinemas in the city rather than gathered in one complex, which means the programme decides which part of Lisbon you spend your days in. The line-up and the edition's sections are published closer to the dates.
IndieLisboa 2027 runs 29 April to 9 May, eleven days of independent film in a city where the festival uses cinemas across the centre rather than one complex. That length is the point: it covers two weekends, so a short trip can still catch a competition strand rather than a single screening.
Not published as of 2026-10-19. IndieLisboa has announced 29 April to 9 May 2027 and nothing about access - no ticket prices, no pass, and no statement on accreditation. Those appear with the programme, normally in the spring.
Not published as of 2026-10-19. The 2027 venue list is not out, so which cinemas carry the competition strands - and therefore which queues form - cannot be stated. The festival has historically spread across venues in central Lisbon rather than using a single site.
