Introducing… The TFL DISPATCH

If you were ever a participant in a TorinoFilmLab activity, then you're officially an alumnus or alumna! From now on, this means you'll find in your mailbox - four times a year - a selection of nice opportunities TFL puts together just for you. What can you expect?

TFL for YOU: this section will include opportunities, updates about Open Sessions where you can join exclusive lectures during our residential workshops and our traditional rendez-vous.

Speaking of opportunities, let’s start with the Alumni Grant, launched today! We will assign a €40,000 grant to support the production of any kind of feature film project, set to begin production in 2026, by writers/directors who have previously developed a project with TFL.

TFL alumni may apply with either a TFL project or a brand-new one. The call for applications is available HERE and you can fill out the form by 6^th May.

ALUMNI BOARD: with this section we will foster exchange among our amazing alumni by featuring professional updates and useful info you’d like to share with the rest of the community.

EDITORIAL: this space will host a contribution from one of our beloved alumni in every edition - focusing on different topics and experiences.

As well as reading and writing to us, we always love to meet up in person. So, here's a quick recap to come join us wherever we’ll be in the coming months!
