Presentation
DiALAB WiP is our post-production initiative designed for films seeking final refinement before their world premiere. By offering an exclusive exhibition space and technical consulting for feature films in the work-in-progress phase, the program connects directors and producers with a team of festival curators, distributors, and international sales agents. The focus is on the feasibility of completion and strategic career planning, ensuring that the project reaches the most prestigious circuits in world cinema. DiALAB WiP acts as the final bridge between artistic creation and the market, providing high-level one-on-one meetings that transform rough cuts into works ready to resonate on a global scale.
