In collaboration with Apordoc, the festival organises Arché Porto, a creative development lab aimed at filmmakers with projects in different stages of development and production. Comprised of feedback sessions, the workshop aims to provide a space for deep reflection on the creative process, free from immediate financial and logistical goals. Over the course of three days, a renowned guest tutor will give feedback on the participants' projects, before the projects are pitched to industry guests attending the festival. At the end, an international jury will award a prize for the best project.
