Lab Cerdanya 2025 is an audiovisual creation lab organized by the Cerdanya Film Festival, inspired by the Kino Kabaret movement. It will take place in Bellver de Cerdanya from August 11 to 20, 2025, promoting collaboration among audiovisual creators aged 18 to 40, regardless of experience.
Participants will create short films in a natural setting, with access to workshops and collaborative activities. Both technical (sound, editing, camera) and artistic (directing, acting, art) profiles are welcome.
The standard fee is €400, including full board and lodging. There are 20 partially funded spots at €150. Accommodation is offered August 23–29 at Cal Caló de Cortariu, though this may relate to a separate event phase.
The lab emphasizes community, experimentation, and inclusion over competition or hierarchy.
