For the second consecutive year, Porto/Post/Doc receives Arché, a professional laboratory conducted in partnership with Doclisboa. Arché thus has a second edition in Porto, after its edition in Lisbon. The workshop, for projects in different stages of development and production, takes place from November 27 to December 1, in a partnership between the two festivals, and will be tutored by Luciano Rigolini. The purpose of this partnership is to broaden and encourage creative and collaboration networks and, on the other hand, to decentralize and bring the laboratory closer to contexts outside Lisbon, specifically the city of Porto and the northern region of the country. From this workshop will be a moment of presentation of the projects to film professionals. A jury of specialists present at the festival will choose one of the projects to receive a prize. Participants will be directors and producers from Portugal, Spain, Latin American countries and Portuguese-speaking countries, with projects at any stage of development. The Arché laboratory is complemented by a series of masterclasses and debates open to the general public.
