First Cut Lab RE-ACT is a comprehensive consultancy & training program designed for feature films in editing phase from Croatia, Friuli Venezia Giulia region, Serbia and Slovenia. Films can be fiction or documentary.
The selected teams (director/producer/editor) are offered a creative framework, both protective & challenging, where to open up and to explore new artistic perspectives for their films. Participants receive expert feedbacks on their rough cut from three international film industry advisors, as well as tailor-made advice from a consultant editor. They are also provided with a memo report that can serve as guidance for further editing.
Editor consultants & Industry advisors will be defined according to the profiles of the films selected. Editor consultants will include top notch editors Benjamin Mirguet, Catalin Cristutiu, Agnieszka Glinska, and Maya Maffioli. An overview of regular Industry advisors of First Cut Lab can be found here: http://firstcutlab.eu/people/
First Cut Lab RE-ACT is made in cooperation and with the financial support of the RE-ACT initiative, notably allowing the absence of tuition fee for the participating projects.
