The selected projects will have the opportunity to attend three talent labs over the course of the year 2018. The Director’s Lab takes place in Amsterdam during the Imagine Film Festival, from 16 to 20 April 2018. The Producer’s Lab takes place in Zagreb during Fantastic Zagreb, from 4 to 8 July 2018. The Packaging Lab takes place in Tallinn during PÖFF, in the final week of November 2018.
The training cycle aims to not only boost the selected film projects, but to also give an invaluable knowledge to the participants, offer new insights and to facilitate professional networking. During the three talent labs, participants will be able to discuss their project with script consultants, learn about the different aspects of (co-) production, sales and packaging from Industry professionals. Mentoring sessions with established genre filmmakers, crowd funders, legal experts, VR and AR experts, and case studies of recent, successful films complete the programme.
