Pitching Session at the 78th Locarno Film Festival
Discover fresh ideas: As part of Locarno Pro, Story Lab participants presented their projects at an industry pitching session. They explore new paths through the audiovisual landscape and tackle topics that are sometimes uncomfortable but important: the projects tell of smouldering conflicts, address realities of life such as surrogacy or seasonal work, and shed light on fragmented communities and places of longing. We fondly remember how much the topics touched the audience and hope that the visibility of the pitching session will lead to new contacts and partnerships for these stories.
