Our cooperation with the international mentoring programme "First Cut Lab" is entering the next round! The "First Cut Lab Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein" is aimed specifically at MOIN-funded feature film productions that are in the editing phase. There will be an info call for interested parties on 16 April.

The North German First Cut Lab Edition takes place exclusively online. The participation fee is 1,000 euros, the remaining costs are covered by the MOIN Film Fund. You can still apply until 3 May 2024.

In 2022, the MOIN-funded project "Spirit in the Blood" by C. May Borgstrom, among others, took part in the First Cut Lab - an experience that Executive Producer Verena Gräfe-Höft describes as follows:

"With our coming of age thriller 'Spirit in the Blood', we attended the First Cut Lab in 2022 at a very early stage of the editing process. The precise feedback helped us a lot to steer the film in the right direction and we were able to plan the next steps very well so as not to lose valuable time with the abundance of material."

Invitation to the infocall

On Tuesday, 16 April, from 14:00 -14:45 there will be an infocall with Julie Marnay, the head of the programme, to talk about the specifics, objectives and structure of the programme. To take part in the infocall, please register by Friday, 12 April via this link. The access data will be sent to you by e-mail in good time after successful registration.

The Lab is open to films that have received funding from MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein. The exact announcement text can be found here.
