In 2021 the Porto/Post/Doc:Film & Media Festival will inaugurate a new discussion space, the Call to Action forum. Here there will be discussions on urgent contemporary issues: the defence of nature, solutions for a healthy life, activist narratives, gender freedom, identity politics, among others. 

Participants will include independent journalism platforms, groups of young activists, filmmakers and professionals from various fields who have made a difference in the investigation of current issues. Among several guests, we will have the participation of the indigenous leader and activist, Ailton Krenak (author of the book "Ideas to postpone the end of the world"), the teacher Elsa Cerqueira (winner of the Global Teacher Prize 2021), the Gerador Platform (independent journalism platform), the youngsters from the Student Climate Strike Group, Constança Carvalho Homem, a programmer at the Queer Porto/Lisbon Festival, and the magazine Divergente. 

The three panels will take as their point of departure several of the films included in the 2021 programme. This new Forum is conceived as a meeting point for the most active and reactive sectors of the local and national community, amplifying the festival's commitment to the fight for social justice and sustainability.

The access to these panels is free and the sessions will also be streamed on the festival's social networks.
