The 23rd edition of the Rotterdam Lab will take place from Monday, January 25, 2023 to Friday, February 3, 2023. The acclaimed Rotterdam Lab provides invaluable training workshops to up and coming producers. With producers from all over the world attending the sessions, this will be an opportunity to connect with the international film industry, network with other emerging producers, and to develop a project.

​

JAFTA and JAMPRO have partnered with the International Film Festival of Rotterdam (IFFR) in the Netherlands to select and send one (1) emerging Jamaican producer to the 2022 Rotterdam Lab. JAFTA will manage and oversee the call and shortlist selection and developmental process and JAMPRO will provide financial sponsorship for attendance. Both JAFTA and JAMPRO will provide in-kind support to the selected participant before and at the Lab. 

​

What are we looking for?

We are looking for one (1) emerging producer from Jamaica to take part. This could either be an independent producer with or without their own companies, or a junior producer working for a production company.
