Torinofilmlab Announces 2020 Scriptlab Participants1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe TorinoFilm Lab has announced the 20 feature film projects and five story editor trainees who will take part in the 2020 edition of ScriptLab, an intensive workshop focused on feature film scripts in early stages of development.
This year’s selection features projects from 17 countries, a diverse range that includes filmmakers from Singapore, Rwanda, Venezuela and Albania. Most of the ScriptLab’s participants are developing their first or second features, a crucial stage in a young director’s career. More than half of the projects are written and/or directed by women, which curator Amra Bakšić Čamo sees as “hopefully announcing a new era in our industry.”
Immigration is also at the heart of Mongrel, Chiang Wei Liang’s (Singapore) first feature film. Set in the countryside of Southern Taiwan, its main character Oom is part of an underground network of traffickers supplying foreign workers to undertake unwanted jobs.
