The director/producer teams will workshop the projects during two weeklong sessions.

Following those workshops, there will be a public pitch at the TorinoFilmLab meeting event, held during the 32nd Torino Film Festival. The jury will assign production awards starting from Euros 50,000($68,000) while an audience award worth Euros 30,000 ($41,000) will be given to the project picked by attending decision-makers.
