Supporting continuous training is one of main purposes of the editorial line of Novos Cinemas, developing training programs for all audiences that combine the theoretical and a practical approach.

Young people workshops, long-term practical workshops for university students, theoretical seminars for the adult public, training exhibitions and meetings with the public expand the activities of New Cinemas beyond the temporal limits of the festival .

Un taller de cine paisajístico impartido por Lois Patiño durante el segundo cuatrimestre del curso académico (Mirar el río), un taller de fotografía primitiva dirigido a los más jóvenes (Luz·Tiempo) y un seminario dirigido por José Luis Guerin (New, Nuovo, Nouvelle!), conforman el programa formativo de la Edición 01 de Novos Cinemas.
