First Cut Lab: Autumn Session
After a very successful summer session, RE-ACT joins forces once again with First Cut Lab, the consultancy program designed for feature films in editing phase from Croatia, Friuli Venezia Giulia region, Serbia and Slovenia.
During the workshop selected producer/director teams will screen their full rough cut in a private session and receive expert feedback on their edit from three top international film professionals (creative producers, festival programmers, sales agents, etc) as well as tailor-made advice from a consultant editor. The main goal is to foster the artistic potential of the selected rough cuts and, at the same time, to increase the sales, festival and circulation potential of the completed films.
The workshop will take place online during the period from December 1, 2020 to January 15, 2021. The core of the Lab takes place over two consecutive days, and the exact dates will be chosen in agreement with the selected teams to best answer the needs of their films.
Deadline for application is 15 November 2020.
Thanks to the partnership with RE-ACT there is no participation fee and selected director and producer should be available during the days of the workshop.

In the past six years RE-ACT has achieved great results in connecting professionals and boosting co-productions between Croatia, Slovenia and Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Last year Film Center Serbia became a new member and Serbian professionals have been able to submit their projects and participate in all RE-ACT training and networking initiatives planned. From 2020 Film Center Serbia has become a full member and therefore Serbian projects and producers will also be eligible for the co-development funding scheme.
