Applications are now open for the Green Film Lab, a TorinoFilmLab initiative taking place in Portugal with the support of the Portugal Film Commission and the Portuguese Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual (ICA).

In 2025, the Pic Portugal incentives took on a dedicated presence at the festival, through a session included in the Industry Program, held this Wednesday. “Producing with Incentives: Cash Rebate in Practice” was the title of the masterclass.

After Portugal having been the focus country at the previous edition, the country returned to the spotlight in one of the event’s panel discussions, featuring Ana Marques, Executive Director of the Portugal Film Commission, and Victor Lamadrid, Secretary General of the Spain Film Commission.

Between films in competition and an extended retrospective, the programme featured 38 Portuguese films, including fiction shorts and features, animation and documentary.

The Portugal Film Commission took part in the latest edition of the Marché du Film, further strengthening Portugal’s position as a competitive and attractive destination for international film and audiovisual productions.

The 2025 Sophia Awards once again celebrated national cinema, with several productions supported by the Pic Portugal – Cash Rebate Incentive receiving distinctions in some of the most prestigious categories of the Portuguese Film Academy awards.
