Designed as a platform for the creative freedom of young artist filmmakers, Pedro F. Duarte and the producer Joana Gusmão have established the independent film production company Primeira Idade (meaning “First Age” in Portuguese), which was born of the experience gathered, in his case, by producing several features and assisting a number of acclaimed filmmakers. Being a cinephile, he also produced the film programme Harvard at the Gulbenkian with the Harvard Film Archive. Member of the board of APORDOC.
