NOVOS CINEMAS. PONTEVEDRA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL will be held from 11–16 December 2018 in the city of Pontevedra (Galicia, Spain). With an emphasis on auteur cinema, NOVOS CINEMAS aims to discover emergent filmmakers and draw attention to them beyond national borders.
DESCRIPTION
Novos Cinemas’ aesthetic ideology relies on three interconnected factors: cinema exhibition, meeting the experts, and proper training. All of them contributed to the formation of NOVOS CINEMAS#LAB: a program specially designed to provide a training and tutoring environment to foster the development of nascent projects by emerging filmmakers.
#LAB’s main purpose is to encourage the meeting of skilled, professional filmmakers and agents that are receptive to independent film projects. Our goal is to help promising independent works become fully developed films and to effectively bring them into the constantly evolving cinema market, with its countless variables in terms of supply and demand.
Submitted projects must be the first or second feature filmsdirected by the applicant filmmaker. Projects must be submitted at a very first stage of production: writing, development or preproduction.
The NOVOS CINEMAS#LAB program will be divided into two phases. In the first phase, the organization of Novos Cinemas will select up to four (4) projects. In the second phase –during Edition 03 of Novos CinemasPontevedra International Film Festival, between December 12-14, 2018–, a team of professionals with proven experience and international prestige will examine, evaluate and supervise the selected projects.
Call for projects will be open from June 18 to September 25, 2018.
