Primer Test
RECLab’s work-in-progress.
Primer Test is the RECLab work-in-progress, with 7 to 10 works section, in diverse post-production phases and with the open call to Spanish productions (or co-productions). The chosen works are presented in front of a reduced group of international experts (programmers, selling agents and other members of the industry) that will discuss with the authors about the best way of finishing their work.
The organization tries to create a welcoming space of trust in order to generate reflexive and positive conversations in a key moment for the production.
Through an open, dialogue-based approach, the aim is to support its creators and help them make good decisions.
Primer Test, with a wide net of collaborators and awards, helps the completing of the works and pushes their way in to the international circuit.
All those selected in Primer Test participate in the professional workshop to prepare for the presentations.
Primer Test will take place in Tarragona, during the REC Festival, which will be held between 3 and 8 December 2026.
To be able to access the 2026 call, the form below must be filled out.
