FILMLAB
WHERE FILM, ART, AND TECHNOLOGY COME TOGETHER TO CREATE, DISCOVER, AND GROW.
Filmlab is where film, art, and technology intersect. Together with other creators, artists, and thinkers, you will work on stories and projects that showcase the potential of film today. Whether you are making your first short film, developing an audiovisual installation, or starting a hybrid project that blends image, sound, and technology, Filmlab gives you the space to experiment, learn, and grow as a creator.
Workshops, open studios, and screenings demonstrate that the process is just as valuable as the end result. You experiment, create, discover, and connect with others who are just as curious and driven as you are.
Filmlab is a community that inspires, empowers, and brings people together. Here, you will always find a place to bring your ideas to life. In collaboration with BROET and Baltan, you gain access to knowledge, inspiration, and new challenges.
Filmlab is more than just a place to watch films. It is an accessible studio for development, experimentation, and collaborative creation. Here you can showcase your work, take on assignments, and bring new projects to life.
In addition to your own initiatives, Filmlab also offers you the opportunity to collaborate with Natlab as a client. This could involve developing film content, audiovisual installations, or creative projects that tie in with Natlab's program and audience. This allows you to work on real assignments, gain experience, and expand your network in the professional film world.
Set your imagination in motion, push boundaries, collaborate, and find your own voice. This is where the future of film begins.
