ART&TUR 2016
Manoel de Oliveira, Portuguese
movie director, used to say “there is
no closest Art to life than the cinema. And the cinema is but a synthesis of all Arts – like life, that has all its
aspects, being sculpture, painting or
even music”.
APTUR dared to dream of the day
when cinema and tourism could be
put together. That dream turned into
a project which is called “ART&TUR”
The ART&TUR FILM FESTIVAL is still
an event without a long past, as this
is the 9th edition, but it has accomplished internationally a great success, mainly due to its hard-working
and passionate organizing team.
It would be unfair not to praise in
this Editorial the devoted dedication
from all those that with their effort
and time made possible the 2016
edition of ART&TUR.
This E-MAGAZINE is the best mean
we found to share with you what the
Festival is and intents to be.
The 2016 edition of ART&TUR brought
new insights to the event. The Competition entered 301 films from 52
countries worldwide, of which 96
films from 31 countries have been
selected to be projected, organized
into 19 different categories.
