Participants will have the opportunity to receive private consultations with important professionals from the audiovisual industry. The consultations will cover areas such as direction, executive production, distribution and commercialization, and scriptwriting.
Participants of LAB CINELEBU will be selected based on the submission they send, considering the coherence of the proposal and the presentation of all the required materials. The sessions are private, in-person, and will last a maximum of 30 minutes.
On this occasion, BIOBIO CONECTA will not cover accommodation or transportation costs for the selected groups. It will only provide accreditation for access to all activities and two lunches per selected group.
