The international platform DiALAB has opened registrations for the project laboratories of the DiALAB Festival, an event that brings together black talents, industry professionals and audiovisual lovers from different parts of the world, and will take place from December 6th to 14th, in Salvador.
In this edition, in addition to the traditional programs DiALAB Docs, DiALAB Fics and DiALAB Séries, the platform launches DiALAB WIP, its program for films in the editing and finalization stages. Another novelty is the launch in Brazil of Brave Futures, a competition for short films made within 48 hours, with an unprecedented partnership with Open Television.
The program will also bring new thematic tracks, expansion of market activities and attraction of international industry professionals, new sponsors and institutional partners, conferences, film showings, music shows, pitches, legal consultancies and training courses.
“DiALAB has done intense work in coordination with the most varied states in Brazil and countries in Latin America, Europe and Africa and, as a result, has become a reference in accelerating audiovisual projects and attracting participants from different parts of the world to the programs of the platform. We are happy to provide a creative space of excellence for black professionals from all over the world to have access to the tools they need to boost their careers, projects and businesses within the industry”, celebrate Emerson Dindo and Leandro Santos, founders of the DiALAB platform.
The DiALAB Festival is maintained and developed by Portátil, a content producer for cinema and television, which has projects awarded by the Sundance Institute and William Greaves.
