porta curtas is a collective website that offers information, news, and an index of documentaries primarily produced in brazil - the site allows visitors to register, create their own personal channels, and vote on their favorite documentaries.

for each listed film, the site categorizes the story, and lists the stats, including the film's length, year and place of production, format, and its main characters and actors, in addition to giving a brief synopsis.

further, porta curtas details any prizes awarded to the documentaries, the technical team, the script if available, and any extra information that may be available to visitors.

from a producer's perspective, one of the most useful aspect of the site is its collective voting system, that shows which films are creating a buzz among the general public, viewable via the number of comments, votes, clicks, or views on the site.
