The VIDCF is the first international digital film festival in Europe. Its first edition occurred last June and the second one will happen next year, from June 18th until June 24th. The VIDCF main goals are to encourage digital culture and promote production, distribution and exhibition of digital films. As Portugal inaugurated the national Digital Cinema Network featuring movie on-demand, not only does it plays a very important role in redefining film distribution, but also promotes the creation of film in digital format.
The submissions for the Village International D-Cinema Festival (VIDCF) 2007
competitions will be online until December 1st. International feature films,
international short films and Portuguese spoken short films, shot in digital and
having the possibility of being screened in digital, can be submitted at
