Union Square Park will be home to New York’s first Portuguese Film Festival sponsored by the Arte Institute, kicking off Thursday, June 2. The event is “the first of its kind in the United States,” and will screen twenty short films directed by Portuguese citizens – many of whom who have already earned European prizes or have been selected to Festivals such as Cannes. The films will be screened first at The Anthology Film Archives and the main Festival will be held at Union Square Park (North Pavilion). Admission is free at the Union Square Park screening although seats need to be reserved in advance.
The Festival will simultaneously take place in Lisbon at Auditorio Carlos on the same dates (June 2-3).
