D’A Film Lab Barcelona is an industry programme that aims to promote the internationalization of Spanish emerging talent, facilitating the development and completion of first, second and third feature films. To this end, we have created a full training programme geared towards the producers that are developing these first feature films. The laboratory will take place in Barcelona between March 25th and 30th, 2023. This new edition is conceptualized in the form of an archipelago. A set of islands that host specific contents and activities that naturally, and with the selected projects as a base, connect with each other:

  • Internationalization and Distribution: A pitching forum format with final-cut screenings and one-2-one meetings with programmers, sales agents and distribution companies.
  • Audience & Marketing Days: Workshops and masterclasses on marketing, audience development and sustainability.
  • Producció Catalana Emergent (Emergent Catalan Production): This isle is directed to upcoming Catalan producers developing their first features.
  • Co-production Meetings: International co-production training programme directed to Spanish and Portuguese producers.

In addition, by having open training and workshops, people accredited as professionals in the festival, and anyone interested, can access the content, training, networking spaces and interact with the teams and the professional guests.
