Cantera Short Film Lab has closed its registration period with no fewer than 125 projects submitted, a resounding success. This figure exceeds our expectations when we launched this first-time short film lab at ALCINE 54.
And it's largely thanks to our sponsors: the organizations and companies that make it possible for us to award a prize of 20,000 euros in kind to the winner so they can turn their project into their first short film.
These are the sponsors of Cantera Short Film Lab and the contributions they make to help give new creators a chance:
