The Lab

The Lab organizes 4 workshops a year, one per season. 3 of them are held in Paris and one during Les Arcs European Film Festival in December. Each workshop gathers between 10 and 30 participants, women and men from all cinema branches, who brainstorm together and make ideas emerge on the issue of women’s place in cinema.

This section of the website will list ideas which will emerge from each workshop and masterclass of the Lab. They will be public and, as the name suggests, can be used as an idea box to give women working in the cinema industry their rightful place.

The official launch of the lab dates back to a lunch in Cannes in May 2017.
Yet, the Lab was created during the 8th edition of Les Arcs Film Festival, where every morning, a workshop was organized, gathering around 10 participants.
