Founded by Paulo Branco in 2007, LEFFEST has established itself as the great festival of reference in Portugal (and “one of the most fantastic festivals in the world”, as Jonathan Demme or Jim Jarmusch said), and brought to our country, over a decade and a half, the great names of cinema, as well as literature, music and the arts and great personalities of world culture, who gather here over the course of 10 days and share their works with the public.
