The eight projects selected for TFL Italia – Boost IT Lab by TorinoFilmLab will bring together eight teams from Italy, France, Brazil, Spain, and Poland, who will take part in the TFL Meeting Event in November. TorinoFilmLab (TFL), an international audiovisual lab organized by the National Museum of Cinema, has announced the eight projects chosen for the 2026 edition of TFL Italia – Boost IT Lab (BIL), a program focused on international co-production for emerging Italian and international producers and directors looking to find Italian production partners. The eight projects were selected from 61 applications submitted by participants from 24 countries. The lineup includes four first-time feature films, three second features, and one project from a more established filmmaker, totaling six fictional films and two creative documentaries. The program will begin with a series of online sessions from 8 to 14 October, followed by in-person sessions in Turin from 23 to 26 November. The training will cover various aspects of film development and international co-production, including screenwriting, production, sustainability, sales strategies, audience design, pitching, and legal issues. The pedagogical team is led by head of studies Francesco Giai Via, alongside nine international tutors: Jérémie Dubois and Chiara Laudani for screenwriting; Eilon Ratzkovsky and Nadia Trevisan for production; Dörte Schneider Garcia for sustainable production; Marcin Luczaj for sales strategies; Greta Nordio for audience design; Bonnie Williams for pitching; and Elisa Vittone for legal matters. "It is significant that some projects that have already participated in other TFL programs are now coming to BIL, recognizing it as an opportunity to take the next step on their journey," Giai Via said. He added that the Italian selection reflects "a great variety of perspectives, styles, and themes," highlighting independent producers' efforts to find international partners and build new alliances. As in 2025, the program will conclude with the TFL Meeting Event, TorinoFilmLab's co-production market, the 19th edition of which will take place in Turin from 26 to 28 November. There, the teams will present their projects to international audiovisual professionals and seek partners for the next stages of development and production. The participants also include a number of TorinoFilmLab alumni. André Hayato Saito, who participated in FeatureLab 2024 with Yellow Chrysanthemum, returns with his sophomore feature, Little Faults, while Polish producer Maciej Kubicki, a SeriesLab 2017 alumnus, is accompanying Marta Prus's The Soloist.
