We are thrilled to announce the projects selected for the second edition of Past Forward – Archive Film Lab, the development programme dedicated to archive-based documentaries, organised by Archivio Aperto and Bio to B – Industry Days | Doc. 

These selected projects reflect a wide range of approaches to archival material, from intimate and personal stories to broader collective narratives, and we look forward to following their evolution in the coming months.
