Doha Film Institute (DFI) has opened applications for this year's edition of its Producers Lab to be held from November 12 to 18.
The six-day programme aims to strengthen the creative, financial and strategic skills of film producers based in the Middle East and North Africa region, and includes intensive training exercises, group tutorials, one-to-one meetings and masterclasses by industry experts.
Focusing on various aspects of producing a feature-length documentary and fiction film, the DFI Producers Lab also aims to strengthen co-productions in the MENA region by bringing together intimate groups of serious and like-minded producers. Fatma Al Remaihi, Chief Executive Officer of the DFI, said: 'Our year-round programmes focus on diverse aspects of filmmaking and one of the most crucial is the role of film producers who support the voice of the directors and have a greater responsibility in shaping an impressive project. It is important that producers gain stronger insights on the filmmaking process, enabling them to develop even more creative ventures. Through the Producers Lab, we aim to strengthen the skills of producers and in turn contribute to building a strong homegrown film industry for the MENA region.
