Beyond the partnership with Festival Mental and the open call, co-director Carolina Serranito was invited by Antena 3 to promote the festival in an interview with André Santos, and was also interviewed by Fernando Alvim on É A Vida Alvim (season 6, episode 8).

This edition’s cinema room screened 34 short films, awarded more honourable mentions and introduced a new distinction: the Audience Teardrop. It was also the first edition in which Triste assembled a jury team.
