In 2018, we will be holding the 9th edition of a conference that is becoming a benchmark in the field of film research.
The AVANCA | CINEMA is a meeting point for researchers who intend to disseminate and share their academic research.

In the last edition, once again, the conference proceedings brought together in their 1088 pages the most diverse research from 18 countries. The double-blind review seems to ensure, for each edition, the quality and originality of the chosen works.

Having been the first scientific conference to take place within the framework of a film festival, the AVANCA | CINEMA and the 22nd AVANCA 2018 Festival offer a unique atmosphere and a diverse program that includes cinema sessions, workshops, book presentations, round tables, plenary sessions and side events (from gastronomy to concerts).
These are 5 days of cinema and truly festive moments ... in the eyes that meet in Avanca, Portugal, in midsummer.

In the meantime, we leave here a challenge: this meeting point starts right now with the submission of abstracts - open now until 31st March.
