PASSPORT, produced by SPi, selected for the NY Portuguese Short Film Festival

The short film PASSPORT, produced by SPi, was part of the official selection of the 16th NY Portuguese Short Film Festival (NYPSFF), held on July 7 at Lincoln Center in New York City. The festival is a leading platform for the international promotion of Portuguese short films.

Directed by Tiago Pimentel and written by Lia Fietz, PASSPORT follows a Portuguese woman who, upon arriving in the United States, is subjected to an interrogation that quickly becomes far more than a routine procedure. As the questioning intensifies, an atmosphere of tension and oppression unfolds, exploring the limits of individual freedom and the weight of moral judgment in contemporary society.

PASSPORT’s inclusion in the festival’s official selection reinforces the international reach of Portuguese audiovisual production and highlights SPi’s commitment to creating stories with the potential to engage audiences beyond national borders.
