Cine Qua Non Lab is pleased to announce the participants selected for its 2020 Storylines Lab.
Storylines is a lab designed for narrative feature film projects from early concept to treatment stage. The lab aims to give independent filmmakers from around the world the opportunity to work intensively on the creative development of their projects in an environment structured to foster professional collaboration and high-quality project development.
Storylines will be held online in August and September 2020 and will have two editions: one in English and one in Spanish. The English edition of the lab will be facilitated by Helena Medina and Meedo Taha. The Spanish edition will be facilitated by David Muñoz Pantiga and Jesús Pimentel Melo.
As part of its partnership with the Guadalajara Film Festival / Guadalajara Talents, Cine Qua Non Lab selected the project Manual para inmigrantes, by Julián García Long, for a spot in the Spanish edition of Storylines. As part of its partnership with the Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM), Cine Qua Non Lab also selected the Colombian project Quilla punchay, by Daniela Narváez Huertas, for a spot in the Spanish edition of Storylines.
