HOSTED BY SAM SPIEGEL INTERNATIONAL FILM LAB
Since its launch in 2011, The Sam Spiegel International Film Lab has been a leading force in the development of groundbreaking feature films by some of the world’s most promising talents. Films developed at the lab won important awards: Son of Saul won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film; Murina won the Golden Camera Award at the Cannes Film Festival; Hold onto Me and Girls will be Girls both won the Audience Award – Dramatic at the Sundance Film Festival (in 2024 and 2026). Manas won the Giornate Degli Autori Director's Award in Venice Film Festival 2024, and many others.
The Lab is a 10 month development program. The selected international and Israeli projects undergo an in-depth process with the Lab's acclaimed script editors, after which they are presented to an audience of jury members and decision makers at a celebratory event, which is taking place this year at the Venice Production Bridge.
The Sam Spiegel International Film Lab supports bold storytellers, who look deeply into the human experience in search for their unique truth. The projects speak for themselves.
