TAP Air Portugal has unveiled its groundbreaking Altitude Film Fest, an onboard film festival that aims to celebrate cinema and provide an exclusive viewing experience for its passengers, all while showcasing the rich tapestry of Portuguese culture and traditions. This innovative festival invites filmmakers from around the world to compete in two categories—documentary and fiction short films—with the captivating requirement that these entries must spotlight Portuguese culture or incorporate scenes filmed within Portugal’s borders.
TAP’s long-haul flights will be transformed into unparalleled cinemas, utilizing the in-flight entertainment system as a platform to screen these exceptional films. A discerning panel of esteemed figures from the world of cinema will meticulously judge the entries, selecting ten finalists in each category to be showcased on TAP’s in-flight system throughout October 2024. Passengers will then play a pivotal role in determining the ultimate winners through a convenient survey on the entertainment platform, their voices shaping the final outcome.
The Altitude Film Fest culminates in a prestigious awards ceremony on World Cinema Day, November 5, 2024, in Lisbon, Portugal. The winners of the Best Fiction Film and Best Documentary will be celebrated and rewarded with a generous 3,000-euro travel grant, not only acknowledging their artistic brilliance but also inspiring global cinematic endeavors.
