WEMW has presented the complete lineup of its four sections for films in the post-production stage: Last Stop Trieste, This is IT, First Cut+ and First Cut Lab Trieste, after having announced earlier the 22 film projects to be presented within its Italian Co-Production Forum.

The 8th edition of Last Stop Trieste will present 6 creative documentaries that were previously selected for one of the partner platforms: Ex Oriente Film, Docu Rough Cut Boutique, Balkan Discoveries, Baltic Sea Docs, ZagrebDox Pro. The films will vie for the HBO Europe Award (cash prize of 1,000 EUR), Flow Digital Cinema Award, and the First Hand Fund Distribution Award.

A total of 10 films (7 fiction, 3 documentaries) ready for festival premiere/international distribution will compete for the Laser Film Award in the programme This is IT.

First Cut+ will be hosted for the third consecutive year and will introduce 8 promising titles from Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Ukraine to more than 80 sales and festival programmers registered at the market.

First Cut Lab Trieste, the consultancy programme designed for 3 feature films in the editing phase from the focus countries of WEMW, will provide the selected teams with a creative framework to help them open up new perspectives and explore their films' full artistic potential.

A total of 5 companies have been selected for the first edition of the Slate Market & EAVE Consultancies programme, whereas 44 participants from 27 different countries  will take part in the 5 brand-new WEMW Inspirational Labs organised in collaboration with CEE Animation Workshop, ESoDoc, Eurovod and MIDPOINT Institute to stimulate producers to differentiate their business models, discover new formats and explore new markets.
