This article’s primary goal is to enunciate some of the main results produced by a research based on one of the most ancient and significant portuguese cultural events (Fantasporto). It led us to reflect on the way Fantasporto could be an interaction frame where dispositions, values and cultural identities, diverse social networks, symbolisms and ritual practices, are simultaneously juggled, configuring a specific, complex and non-linear way of bounding between movie goers and cinematic goods. To become acquainted with the Festival and it’s offering, it’s not just about retaining major or minor cultural or cinematic resources (specific cultural dispositions). On the contrary, the level of loyalty to the Festival addresses us to a schema of strong shared cultural bound, where traits like sociability, liaising with the surrounding, the holding of a symbolic power in that particular context, the corporal dialog, symbolic and ritual, reconfigure the perception model of cultural experience and the modalities of receiving cinematic goods
