Latest Events in Lisbon(August Updated)

From November 6th to 15th, 2026, the Lisbon Film Festival (LEFFEST) will be held in eight iconic venues, transforming Lisbon and Amadora into a constellation of theater, encounters, and revelations. Ten days of film screenings, debates, and exchanges will make these eight stages spaces for transition and discovery, where film intersects with music, literature, and contemporary reflection.

The new Belém Traditional Book Festival will be held from September 17th to 20th. This initiative, decided by the President of the Republic, transforms Belém Palace into a stage for celebrating books, reading, and exchange among Portuguese-language literature readers and writers. As always, the event includes panel discussions, live interviews, new book launches, concerts, and open-air cinemas, while retaining activity areas for children and teenagers, as well as outdoor seating and restaurants. The book festival returns to the Belém Palace gardens and, as always, is organized in partnership with the Portuguese Association of Publishers and Booksellers (APEL).

The impossibility and absurdity of the title are congregated to the strategy for the use of natural resources, where the chance, in a constant game, questions the artist on the result and the sense of the creative process.

RUI NEIVAST #17641 OPENINGTuesday, March 26 | 8 - 11 pm “ When looking at Rui Neiva's series of works, I immediately think of a shot from The Cave of Lost Dreams, Werner Herzog's 2012 film, in which archaeologists studying the prehistoric paintings in the Chauvet cave showed a reconstruction of the painting process on a particular wall. (…) Today, Rui Neiva's work comes from a very clear awareness of something similar, and this despite the centuries that separate it from those early days of the long human journey. His work reveals a primordial impulse: the manifestation of the need to create a certain object, to create a certain painting; and the incessant search for the technical means to make that possible. And this manifestation also coexists with the freedom that the fluid matter of the painting has to manifest itself as it truly is, before the artist subjects it to the limits of form or even representation. As has always been the case.
