WOMEX 22 Spotlight On Films

WOMEX 22 Film Teaser

Join us on a cinematic journey this upcoming WOMEX in Lisbon as we bring you three immersive days of our unique Film Programme (20 - 22 October).

The 2022 Film Programme is curated to inspire and provoke you - the delegates, bookers, curators, labels and promoters among others. Engage with the films and filmmakers to explore a diverse range of music, space, and regions, discover musicians, and new projects, and recognise alternative programming opportunities.

The selected Films come from across the world that encourages and strengthen open conversations between the global music and film community. The selection of 21 music documentaries was hand-picked, which include new releases, preview screenings, and Portuguese premieres.

Each year, our Film Programme celebrates creative, progressive and innovative storytelling through reels - pushing the boundaries of narration from diverse and multicultural perspectives, challenging the status quo.
