Welcome to the second edition of the Zêzere Cinedance Festival organized by Madrasta Dance. An encounter between dance on screen and a dialogue between these two art forms that, although they may seem distant under an inattentive look, are in constant connection.
By bringing together creators from all over the world thgouth film, our aim is to turn the city of Ferreira do Zêzere, in the center of Portugal, into a place of creative excellence for cinedance.

There will be no prizes, only HONOURABLE MENTIONS awarded by the Festival audience and invited guest`s.
