Arché, a space dedicated to promoting creative development and thinking in the field of cinema, returns as an integral part of Porto/Post/Doc: Film & Media Festival. This initiative offers an exceptional platform for up-and-coming filmmakers to explore and bring their projects to life, while creating a networking environment for industry professionals.
With the primary aim of offering essential tools and moments of reflection for the creation of new films, Arché presents a comprehensive four-day workshop for project development. Renowned mentors provide fundamental guidance and knowledge to bring out the essence of four film projects embraced during this immersive working period.
The highlight of the event is the presentation of the projects to a professional audience and an international jury. This jury has the important responsibility of rewarding one of the projects for its exceptional originality, quality and creative potential. Arché represents a unique opportunity for emerging filmmakers to gain recognition and support for the realisation of their ambitions.
Arché is distinguished by its deliberate focus on member countries of the Ibermedia Program. This program champions collaboration and cultural exchange within the cinematic realm, encompassing a diverse array of nations from Argentina to Venezuela, as well as Portugal and Spain. Arché prides itself on promoting diversity and innovation and represents a true reflection of the vibrant tapestry of cultures showcased by participating filmmakers.
For filmmakers starting out and looking to take advantage of this opportunity, you may submit your work from 24th August to 18th September 2023 here. Arché at Porto/Post/Doc offers an excellent platform for visionary filmmakers searching for support and inspiration for their next project. This is an ideal platform to distinguish yourself and make connections with international cinema industry professionals.
