Porto/Post/Doc 2024 is set to celebrate the influential work of Georgian filmmaker #Salomé Jashi# in its upcoming 11th edition. Born in Tbilisi in 1981, Jashi’s career began in journalism before she transitioned to documentary filmmaking with a British Council scholarship to study at Royal Holloway, University of London. She founded Sakdoc Film and #Microcosmos, production companies renowned for their compelling documentaries and fiction films.

Jashi’s oeuvre meticulously examines Georgia’s socio-political landscape, capturing the evolving dynamics of her homeland with a blend of observational rigour and surrealistic nuance. This year’s festival will showcase a curated selection of Jashi’s work, including five short films and three feature-length pieces, offering an in-depth look at her cinematic contributions.

In parallel, the festival is issuing a final call for applications for its Industry activities. This segment aims to foster collaboration and support for national and international film projects. Highlights for 2024 include Industry Screenings, co-production meetings involving Portugal, Spain, and France, the Luso-Galician Forum, the Arché Porto Writing and Development Lab, and the Working Class Heroes Grant.
