Raw
RAW: Residencies Arché→Work is a programme organized between Arché and Márgenes Film Festival (Madrid, Spain). It aims at providing a working space free from immediate financial and logistical objectives, while directly focusing on the creative process in terms of directing and production.
It also aims to foster the proximity between film production and film criticism and research, thus being divided into two different strands: the Creation Residencies and Criticism Residencies.
RAW is an itinerant programme of several weeks that includes the participation in Arché, an artistic residency in Lisbon and the participation in Márgenes/Work, Márgenes’ project development lab.
CREATION RESIDENCIES
Aimed at emerging directors from Ibero-American countries and Italy with a film project in development: authorial, innovative, coherent and relevant proposals in the contemporary scene. This programme offers a space for development and training, designed according to the specific needs of each project.
CRISTICISM RESIDENCIES
Aimed at young critics and researchers from Ibero-American countries and Italy, whose object of study is related to non-fiction film practice, with a special focus on audiovisual production from Ibero-American countries. This programme aims to promote content and knowledge and to foster dialogue between research and contemporary cinematographic practices.
