SPECIAL FOR EAVE PRODUCERS: FIDLab Marseille
Call for applications
Dear EAVE producers,
FIDLAB and EAVE are glad to invite you to apply for the 8th edition of the FIDLAB (Marseille, July 15th-16th) and discover 11 brand new film projects at all stages of development.
FIDLab is a professional platform for coproduction support, setting up meetings between projects and possible co-producers, distributors, representatives of international cinema funds, sales agents, curators, programmers and other potential financiers. FIDLab offers a dynamic and active work environment, where artistic and economic joint ventures are created.
In the framework of the partnership with EAVE, FIDLAB will select 2 EAVE producers to participate in the 2016 edition of the FIDLab. This invitation will include 3 nights of hotel accommodation and an industry accreditation for the festival. In order to apply, please send, before June 8th, your CV and a short letter of motivation to the following addresses: fidlab@fidmarseille.org; franciscalucero@fidmarseille.org
For the call for entries 2016, 11 projects, all with a budget under 1 million Euros were selected from more than 370 applications from 87 countries. In the past 7 editions FIDLab has selected 80 projects. More than 50% of those projects are now films with a rich and diverse life and visibility.
FIDLab lasts for two days : visual and oral presentations are followed by one-to-one meetings. FIDLab has the same criteria as FIDMarseille: it has no restriction of genre, length or format; and gives a particular attention to those films that cross the boundaries between fiction and documentary.
Different from a market pitching, FIDLab offers the professional audience a chance to discover the projects through images, rushes, rough cuts, photos, artistic references and all the material that may increase the understanding of the project. In a diverse international context, FIDLab aims to reinforce projects chosen not only for their artistic and creative qualities, but also for their international potential and market accessibility.
FIDLab is a meeting place for discussing film projects, offering film-makers an opportunity to make useful contacts and networking thanks to match-maked and free one-to-one meetings, as well as more informal moments of encounter.
