Rotterdam Lab

Rotterdam Lab participants 2024

Every year, IFFR Pro's worldwide partners and collaborators nominate outstanding emerging film producers to participate in the Rotterdam Lab. Now in its 24th edition, this five-day ride of panel sessions, roundtables, and networking events provides a golden opportunity for participants to refine their (co)producing craft and expand their international network.

On top of welcoming 65 producers from over 40 countries, selected through 43 partner organisations, this year for the first time ever – thanks to the support of Creative Europe MEDIA – we launched an open call to further expand the plurality of voices, backgrounds and experience within the cohort. Selected through an open submission process that saw more than 160 applications, we are delighted to also welcome: Eduardo Tello (Peru), Liliana Lasprilla (Portugal), Marta Gmosińska (Poland), Patricia D'Intino (Hungary) and Tricia Sello (Botswana).
