Chairman of the Executive Committee Audhut Caro said, "India and Portugal are both regions steeped in
rich heritage and culture. India is a mingling of diverse cultures, all special in their own way. Goa, too, has its own unique identity and culture which is a blend of Indian and western nuances. Goa has assimilated the essence of both regions where people co-exist in harmony and joy. Through this event, Semana da Cultura Indo-Portuguesa (Goa) we would like to share and enjoy the essence of our diverse culture."

The film festival will continue over three days, when ‘A Tempestade da Terra’ (Earth Storm), directed by Fernando D’Almedia e Silva, and 'Sem Sombra de Pecado’ (No Trace of Sin), directed by Jose Fonseca e Costa, will be screened on Saturday.

The festival will conclude tomorrow, with three movies. 'Cara a Cara’ (Face to Face), directed by Margarida Leitao and produced by Ukbar Filmes/Inmedia, ‘John From’ directed by Joao Nicolau and produced by O Som e a Furia and Shellac Sud, and ‘A Ilha dos Caes’ (The Island of Dogs), directed by Jorge Antonio and
produced by Ana Costa, Cinemate Producoes, will be screened on that day.
Like the earlier editions of Semana da Cultura Indo-Portuguese (Goa), this year too will see a celebration of Indian and Portuguese culture including cinema, music, cuisine, films and more. The annual event is an effort to celebrate and appreciate the rich cultural flavours of the two nations.
Continuing with the celebrations, the Semana da Cultura Indo-Portuguesa will host the fado singing competition on November 10 at Institute Menezes Braganza Hall in the city. For the purpose, Semana
da Cultura has partnered with Fundação Oriente, who are hosting the popular musical event ‘Vem Cantar’ and a Goan short story competition.
The festival has been organised by Semana da Cultura along with Institute Camoes, Portuguese Consulate and Entertainment Society of Goa.
