Production Awards
During TorinoFilmLab’s co-production forum Meeting Event, projects developed within ScriptLab and FeatureLab training programmes are presented to an audience of Decision Makers invited from all over the world.
On this occasion, an international Jury assigns the Production Awards to the best projects developed within FeatureLab – TFL’s programme dedicated to 1st and 2nd feature film projects at an advanced development stage. The awards are given to enable the making of the film, without any obligation to spend the money in Italy.
The selection of the awarded projects is based on the following materials: script, budget, financing plan, production schedule, as well as on the public pitching of the project, and the individual meeting of the writer/director and producer with the Jury. The Jury changes every year, and it is formed by 5 members of the film industry.
In 2023 four production grants for a total of € 180,000 are assigned to FeatureLab projects by the Main Jury of the TFL Meeting Event, composed of five international film professionals. Two of them are allocated to projects involving European and non-European producers, thanks to Creative Europe - MEDIA Programme of the European Union.
