The one and only co-production market organised by TorinoFilmLab turns 18 - which is the equivalent of reaching adulthood in Italy (!).
To mark this important milestone, we've expanded the TFL Meeting Event even further. We'll be sharing all the details with you in the next few months, but for now, here's a sneak peek.
The invitation-only event - held between 20th afternoon and 22nd November - represents a perfect blend of stories from around the world which will become feature films or TV series, and professionals who, through their expertise, forge new potential links and connections right here in Turin.
What can you expect? Pitching sessions, one-to-one and informal moments with:
SCRIPTLAB - 16 in essence feature film projects
This long-term programme focuses on fiction feature films, both original ideas and adaptations, in early stages of development, presented by experienced and emerging filmmakers from all over the world.
FEATURELAB - 10 advanced feature film scripts
Running from June to November, FeatureLab supports first and second feature films presented by creative teams of writer/directors and producers. It delves into both artistic and creative aspects, alongside production and promotion strategies.
COMEDYLAB - 4 comedy scripts crafted for worldwide audience
Now in its second year, a unique concept that brings together talented writers with projects to work on and comedy writers/performers without projects to create a fusion of expertise and comedic brilliance.
SERIESLAB - 9 original tv series projects primed to captivate the market
Innovative, marketable, international fiction TV series to be presented, after a 9-month training course, by creative teams from Europe or by international teams working on a project with the potential of European co-production.
TFL FUNDS – the project awarded in 2025
The Fund - a € 50,000 production grant, combined with tailored consultancies - supports co-productions between European producers and international co-producers. The awarded project has the chance to find additional partners thanks to networking moments and one-on-one meetings.
And, for the first time within our market with:
TFL ITALIA - BOOST IT LAB – 8 projects boosting their co-production potential
Bringing together 4 Italian projects with high potential for international co-production, presented by an Italian production company and 4 international projects seeking Italian production partners.
Plus, you'll have the chance to meet our 7 Story Editor trainees collaborating on the ScriptLab and SeriesLab projects, as well as 5 Comedy Writers and Performers from the ComedyLab programme.
Finally, a big new thing this year: we join forces with the European Writers Club in a new venture. EWC will present in Torino the results of its third session “Bridging Generations”, involving 16 writers from across Europe, 8 producers, 11 representatives from public and private broadcasters/streamers.
