Shoot as if the camera was an extension of yourself.

The lab within the lab. A camera wanders off, registering the fragmented reality through several points of view of the ephemeral spontaneous. This lab will challenge participants to get lost, stumble upon what’s surrounding them, where curiosity emerges as a leitmotiv, having the moving camera as a tool for direct experience. Later on, the multiple visions will be edited in a collective documentary.

Who can participate?
Documentarians, filmmakers, ethnographers, graphic designers, multimedia artists, journalists, citizens in general eager and willing to document Porto.

Participants should bring: camera, microphones and/or sound recorder (this equipment doesn’t have to be professional!)
