NordesteLAB

Since 2015, the project has been held annually in Salvador and is the largest audiovisual market event in Brazil outside the Rio-São Paulo axis. It connects industry agents and promotes activities such as panels, debates, pitching sessions, masterclasses, legal clinics, and business meetings for diverse audiences, including professionals, students, and other interested parties in the audiovisual field. NordesteLAB is organized by Laboratório Audiovisual and is presented by the SalCine program, an initiative of the City of Salvador through the Municipal Secretary of Culture.
