One of the most cherished initiatives of this first edition of Porto/Post/Doc was the Cartes Blanches programme. These screenings represented an invitation to guest curators who are, for us, clear references and exemplars of excellence in film programming. At the same time, they allowed the festival to open itself to the world, offering our audiences the opportunity to discover selections curated by international festivals. Through this exchange, Porto/Post/Doc also began to carve out its path abroad and to position itself within the wider network of documentary film festivals.
