For 7 days - from 7th to 13th November 2022 - the TFL Film Parade will share a selection of 7 titles chosen among over 150 films developed within the TFL’s development programmes to represent the multiple souls and voices that TorinoFilmLab fostered and continues to embrace. They will be all available for free on the Festival Scope platform, you only need to create an account and press play.
To reach a wider audience and to offer further visibility to the TFL films across borders, each title will be available in an average of 10 countries – from Mongolia to Mexico, from Japan to Brazil, Bangladesh and Italy just to mention a few - for up to 500 views.
If you missed their premiere in one of the A-festivals or if you have them on your watchlist on Letterboxd (speaking of which, click here to follow us there too!), it’s time to catch up with:
