The program was divided into two sections: Final Cut, aimed at Spanish feature films in postproduction, and Emerging Production, focused on emerging production companies developing their first feature film. Throughout the lab, selected projects received professional mentoring, took part in training activities, and gained access to networking opportunities within the international audiovisual industry. Additionally, one of the films participating in the Final Cut section was awarded a €20,000 prize granted by a professional jury.
