Pitching Session at the 79th Locarno Film Festival
Bats, commodity trading, sisterhood, migration – the themes explored by the Story Lab participants span a whole universe. With courage and curiosity, they are experimenting with new narrative forms. The participants presented their projects to the industry during a pitching session as part of Locarno Pro. We hope that the visibility generated by the pitching session will open new doors for these stories, leading to exciting collaborations.

For the fifth time, the Migros Culture Percentage Story Lab was a partner of BaseCamp. Launched in 2019, this project offers young filmmakers the opportunity to immerse themselves fully in the Locarno Film Festival for eleven days and forge new contacts within the industry. This year’s edition of the programme, called ‘A Promise to Respect’, brought together 200 up-and-coming international talents. Every year, filmmakers supported by the Migros Culture Percentage Story Lab have the opportunity to take part in the programme.
