Guests of the festival are big directors of the horror. Both Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Hideo Nakata (Ring) are subject to retrospectives including their masterpieces, and will animate a Master Class.
The movies in competition overlap with the ones already presented and seen at the BIFFF 2013 and the MFFF2013:

• The ABCs of Death
• Byzantium
• Cheap Thrills
• The Complex
• Dark Touch
• John Dies at the End
• Kiss of the Damned
• The Lords of Salem
• Maniac
• Painless
• V/H/S 2

Interesting add-ons to the main competition are the retrospective, the shorts and the Portuguese sessions. In the short time JoRafCinema will spend there, we will try to get the most of these. 

The preparation to a film festival starts by having an overview on the programm. To get an overview of the poster of the movies presented in the festival is always a good. For this, just open a nice blog gathering all these.
Then you can have a look at the timetable and make your own planning for the festival. You have to think about letting enough time for lunch, dinner, talks. Planning your time only for movies while the festival offers other good events would be a pity, so plan also some extras and do not neglect the retrospectives and the rare movies. A festival is the only opportunity to watch some of them!

Do not forget the address of the Cinema Sao Jorge, Avenida da Libertade 175 in Lisbon.
See you there!
