NFDC Film Bazaar 2014 Calls for Entries for the Work-in-Progress Lab & Viewing Room

NFDC Film Bazaar 2014 is calling for entries for the Work-in-Progress (WIP) Lab and the Viewing Room. The submission deadline isSeptember 30th 2014. This year, the NFDC Film Bazaar will be held from November 20-24, 2014 at the Goa Marriott Resort alongside the International Film Festival of India 2014.

For the first time at NFDC Film Bazaar, there will be two WIP Labs: WIP Fiction and first WIP Documentary. In each WIP Lab, four projects in their rough-cut stage will be selected to be presented to a panel of international film experts for their feedback. The newly introduced WIP Documentary Lab will only consider creative feature-length documentaries in the rough cut stage which are aimed at a theatrical release.

Feature-length films of any genre in the rough-cut stage are invited to apply to the WIP lab.

The Viewing Room will present films seeking finishing funds, world sales, distribution partners and film festivals to investors, world sales agents and film festival programmers attending the NFDC Film Bazaar. Here, films are viewed on individual computer terminals in private booths via a specially designed software which allows the users to contact the director or producer of the film via email. Films of all genres and lengths in rough or final cut are invited to apply to the Viewing Room.

Feature-length films in the rough cut are eligible to apply to both WIP Labs and the Viewing Room.
