The São Tomé Film Lab is an initiative aimed at developing film projects. Its objective is to connect young talents from São Tomé e Principe, professionals from the audiovisual and film industry, with international experts. After a 15-day artistic residency, ten aspiring filmmakers were selected and able to develop their projects with the assistance of mentors and other filmmakers, in a constructive and collaborative environment. The project is committed to promoting the participation of a greater number of female filmmakers, in order to offer a more balanced and diversified vision of the film world.
