The Full Circle Lab Nouvelle-Aquitaine team is directed by Matthieu Darras and has been bolstered by the arrival of Lebanese producer Myriam Sassine as co-head of the lab. An industry day, organised in cooperation with the Poitiers Film Festival and its ‘Jump In’ initiative, will conclude the second edition of Full Circle Lab Nouvelle-Aquitaine in December 2022, in Poitiers.

In detail, the Full Circle Lab Nouvelle-Aquitaine will select four feature-film projects at the scriptwriting stage (participants include both scriptwriters and producers) and two film projects in the editing phase. The projects at the scriptwriting stage are participating in the Development Lab and will attend two residential workshops, each lasting four working days. The first one will run in August in La Maison Forte in Monbalen, while the second workshop is in November, in Poitiers. The teams behind two feature films in the editing phase (which are titles previously supported by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region) will attend a workshop that follows the format of the First Cut Lab. The deadline for submissions is 1 July, and the selection will be announced on 15 July. Detailed information can be found here.
