The Alternativa – Barcelona Independent Film Festival – launches a call for its Cinema Pendent Development Lab, aimed at filmmakers with fiction, hybrid, or experimental feature films in the writing or development stage. The lab consists of four days of intensive work guided by mentor Pau Subirós, focusing on narrative, conceptual, and stylistic analysis.
Selected projects receive a €500 grant, professional mentoring, festival accreditations, and access to networking events. They may also qualify for awards and be referred to other programs such as EXTREMLAB or the GAC Pitching Forum.
Review official bases.
Development Lab - L'Alternativa
A workshop to stop and observe, to feel, to experience the passage of time, to reflect on what is filmed, and simply to want to make cinema. A contemplative cinema – slow cinema – in contrast to a chaotic, frantic, and globalized world. A cinema to reconnect with oneself, a cinema to raise awareness.
OBJECTIVES: ➝ Learn to observe and connect with the act of filming.
➝ Develop a unique perspective and personal style.
➝ Introduction to cinematic language.
➝ Shoot an audiovisual piece (portrait of a city or self-portrait).
