Guided by professionals and various speakers from the industry, the Talent Lab is an opportunity for sixteen emerging filmmakers to reflect on their projects and artistic practices over 3 days of professional activities, workshops and closed conferences. Participants will also be able to claim different grants and support offered by ONF, NFB and CineGround.

Talent Lab is presented by Netflix with the financial participation of Téléfilm Canada, in collaboration with l’ONF, NFB, CineGround and Royal Photo.

We thank L'inis for lending its space to host the Talent Lab this year.
