D’A FILM LAB BARCELONA (3)

Festival start: 23 March 2023      Festival end: 02 April 2023

The D'A Film Lab Barcelona is a program to promote new film talent that aims to facilitate the conclusion of feature films in the post-production phase and promote their international circulation. Six unfinished films will be selected to receive specific advice from professionals and a jury will award a prize of 20,000 euros to the best film of the six participants.

The six selected projects are eligible for the prize awarded by an independent jury which consists of 20,000 euros for the main producer/representative who has registered the film for the call.

Feature films, both fiction and non-fiction, can be submitted to the D'A Film Lab Barcelona in the post-production phase. The project in question has to be the director's first, second or third feature film. The nationality of the director must be Spanish, as well as one of the production companies, either the main one or within an international co-production structure.

Participation in the D'A Film Lab Barcelona is compatible with participation in other initiatives similar to other festivals.
