Village International D-Cinema Festival® 2006

Dates: Jun 21, 2006 — Jun 25, 2006

Location: Lisbon

Country: Portugal

This is the first edition of Lisbon Village Festival

The influence of the information technologies on the contemporary culture led us to a cultural paradigm change.

This change is part of the societies’ evolution to what we call “Knowledge society” and “information society”.
Hand in hand with the information technology and communications evolution, creativity, art and cultural creation and the way we access it, are changing as well.
Lisbon Village Festival is a response to those changes. We offer fresh perspectives on cultural availableness.

Lisbon Village Festival is a cultural event for the digital generation that comprises:
Village International Digital Cinema Festival®
Musical performances at Village Lounge
Art exhibitions at Village Gallery

The Village International Digital Cinema Festival® is the main event as Portugal recently inaugurated the national Digital Cinema Network featuring movie on-demand. Not only does the network plays a very important role in redefining film distribution, but also promotes the creation of film in digital format.
