Lab Cerdanya 2025 is an audiovisual creation lab organized by the Cerdanya Film Festival, inspired by the Kino Kabaret movement. It will take place in Bellver de Cerdanya from August 11 to 20, 2025, promoting collaboration among audiovisual creators aged 18 to 40, regardless of experience.
Participants will create short films in a natural setting, with access to workshops and collaborative activities. Both technical (sound, editing, camera) and artistic (directing, acting, art) profiles are welcome.
The standard fee is €400, including full board and lodging. There are 20 partially funded spots at €150. Accommodation is offered August 23–29 at Cal Caló de Cortariu, though this may relate to a separate event phase.
The lab emphasizes community, experimentation, and inclusion over competition or hierarchy.

The main goal is to strengthen project portfolios through conceptual, creative, and technical support, with a focus on inclusion, sexual and gender diversity, social justice, empathy, and critical thinking.
The program comprises two phases: a virtual phase from February to March 2026 with lectures and one-on-one mentoring; followed by a five-day in-person phase in November 2026 in Mexico City, offering professional guidance, specialized training, and networking opportunities. During this in-person segment, the Foundation will cover accommodation and meals for up to two people per project; travel to Mexico City is the responsibility of the participants. Additionally, selected projects must pay a one-time administrative fee of USD 200.
