                        ART&TUR FestivalThe ART&TUR Festival is promoted by APTUR (Portuguese Tourismology Association), with the high patronage of the Municipality of Barcelos. Although it is only a newborn, the ART&TUR Festival became one of most important tourism film festivals in the world: in 2009 the festival received 169 films from 38 countries. Festival ART & TUR is member of the CIFFT - International Committee of Tourism Film Festivals, a NGO recognized by the World Tourism Organization as the supervisory entity for the tourism film Festivals. The CIFFT coordinates and integrates 12 international tourism film festivals and promotes the Annual Awards Gala (Festival der Festivals) in Vienna, to distinguish every year the most awarded films in festivals, and announce the best tourism film of the world. In the CIFFT, the ART&TUR Festival has exclusivity to the Iberian Peninsula, and it is one of the most influential festivals, not only because it’s a festival that attracts good films and in large numbers, but also by the fact that attract a wide set of world-renowned professionals. One example was the presence, in the last edition, of Zbigniew Zmudski, Oscar winner 2008, in the category of Short Animated Films. However, the ART&TUR Festival is much more than an exhibition of international films from tourism, and its scope is much broader. It’s no coincidence that the festival takes place in the last week of September, so that the Gala coincides with the World Tourism Day. Since the purpose of the ART&TUR Festival is to celebrate with ART the World Tourism Day, the Festival program presents over five days a wide range of cultural and artistic activities. News
