The FCL and When East Meets West coproduction platform teams are happy to launch the call for entries for the upcoming edition of First Cut Lab, taking place in Trieste next January 20-22,2019. 

FCL is a programme designed for 3 long feature fiction films in editing phase from Eastern Europe and Italy. Selected producer/director teams will receive tailor-made advice from consulting editor Benjamin Mirguet and expert feedback from top international film professionals (creative producers, festival programmers, sales agents, etc). All sessions will be moderated by FCL Director Matthieu Darras. The main goal is to foster the artistic potential of the selected rough cuts and, at the same time, to increase the sales, festival and circulation potential of the completed films. All applications must include video material (selected scenes, first assembly or rough cut) of at least 60 minutes long.
