The 36th World Cultural Council Awards ceremony was held a few hours ago in Tokyo at Tsukuba University, where Paulo Branco received the Leonardo da Vinci World Award of Arts, with which he was honoured.

After the world première at the Venice Film Festival’s Competition, where it went on to TIFF - Toronto International Film Festival, The Domain, by Tiago Guedes, is the Portuguese candidate for a Goya Awards nomination in 2020, as well as the Portuguese candidate for an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature Film.

The Domain, a feature by Tiago Guedes originated a TV series, co-produced with RTP, that was later purchased by ARTE France. Divided in three episodes of about one hour each, it's the first TV series by a Portuguese director acquired by this prestigious channel, and it will be on air in the end of 2020.

After its selection in the official competition in Venice, where it was acclaimed by a long standing ovation, today is the day of the press and industry screening of The Domain at the TIFF-Toronto International Film Festival. The official exhibition will happen next Tuesday, on the 10th of September, in the Special Presentation section, the most important program of the TIFF. The Domain is the first Portuguese movie to be featured in this section.

We are proud to announce that A Herdade (The Domain), by director Tiago Guedes, has been selected for the official competition of the 2019 Venice Film Festival. Several days later, A Herdade will have its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where it has been selected in the main section "Special Presentations”. It is the first Portuguese movie ever to be selected there.
