November is soon and Listapad Minsk film festival too (http://www.listapad.com/films/). The word "listapad" means "November" in Belarusain. If I could I would go in Belarus in this November.
I took really nice pictures of the film festival's flags last November but unfortunately I lost them.
The most popular movie on the Listapad Film Festival last year was Franz + Polina movie (http://www.listapad.com/films/film_127.html). Also a Bulgarian move - A Little Night Tale (http://www.listapad.com/films/film_124.html) was on the festival. But we couldn't find the cinema because this movie was not at the Central Cinema Hall at down-town.

okay, we still have time - let's rock our socks off!

When I was searching on the net I found one really nice documentary film festival in Lisbon
The web page of DocLisboa film festival is the following: http://www.doclisboa.org/
Also I found a nice video about the festival on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Grvag0tEac

I am sure lots of interesting Documentary stuff, not to say I am a great fan of the genre.

Ha, now I remember I have 3 friends in Portugal

Other several film festivals in Portugal:

4./ Fantas << Porto, Portugal <<

I am trying to prepare my trip to Portugal. Hope to visit some film festival but there is nothing when I'll be there... Maybe the best resolve of the situation is to stay in Portugal an additional month (if this is not so crazy) ...

Well, if you have 3 friends from Portugal you are lucky. Portuguese people are really kind and nice.
