The\u00a0Laboratorio \u00d3pera Prima<\/strong>, funded by the ICAA and Next Generation funds, is a programme open to new authors and producers in our film industry, enabling them to develop their first feature films, series or audiovisual projects in new formats, whether documentary or fiction, with the aim of commercial exploitation.<\/p>\n

In this new edition, up to 7 projects will be selected, each of which may receive funding of up to 15.000 euros. <\/strong>The laboratory will support the <\/strong>development of projects until they reach a solid proposal with narrative and commercial value, designed for a global market that can accommodate different formats, audiences and content.<\/p>\n

This will include training workshops, professional mentoring and specialised seminars. One of the laboratory\u2019s most notable features will be the opportunity to produce an audiovisual piece<\/strong>, whether a trailer, teaser or scene from the project. In addition, the selected projects will make several presentations to the industry.<\/p>\n

The current call for applications for Laboratorio \u00d3pera Prima<\/strong> will remain open until 15 March<\/strong> and is open both to the school\u2019s alumni and to anyone outside the ESCAC community. Applications must be submitted via this online form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the previous edition of Laboratorio \u00d3pera Prima<\/strong>, six audiovisual projects were developed for the industry: four fiction feature films, a documentary and a series.<\/p>\n
