The Short Film Development Lab for women is a joint initiative of the Festival and the New Fund for Cinema and Television. Up to six participants receive personalized professional guidance, with a focus on script development and directorial vision. At the end, one project wins a production grant. The Lab’s goal is to promote up-and-coming female filmmakers working on short independent films, to provide a creative platform to enhance their cinematic style, and to encourage storytelling from diverse and unique points of view
