RAW RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Applications for the sixth edition of RAW: Arché→Work Residencies itinerant program are also open until May 19. Organized by Apordoc and the Márgenes Film Festival (Madrid), this programme is aimed at filmmakers with a film project in development, and to critics or researchers with a research project in the field of non-fiction cinema. Like ARCHÉ, RAW is also open to participants from Portugal, Spain, Italy and Latin American countries.
The projects selected for RAW will take part in Arché (Oct 20-24) during Doclisboa and in Márgenes/Work, the Márgenes festival’s workspace (Nov 26-30). In between these two moments, the participants will have an artistic residence in Lisbon (Oct 25 to Nov 25) to work on their projects, with guidance from tutors and professionals, in a program aimed towards collective reflection and creation that will also stimulate closer ties between the participants.
RAW is an innovative creative development and training program focused on audiovisual projects with a strong authorial character, with special attention to non-fiction and experimentation.
Registration is free and must be done via this link.
