Lille, France — The Torino Film Lab and Series Mania have announced this year’s nine participating projects in the SeriesLab forum. SeriesLab is a joint venture intended to address one of the most significant challenges facing the European fiction TV industry: Developing screenwriting talent.
The event is held as a forum to mentor creative talent by gathering writers, creators and showrunners from nine series in early-stage development. The projects participate in a five-month course with three residential workshops and two online sessions, all culminating in a final presentation at the Series Mania Co-Production Forum on May 3.
SeriesLab project manager Angelica Cantisani credits the success of last year’s inaugural forum with producing an even stronger crop of projects this year. “We had the advantage of a really successful first edition that spread the word,” she says.

Chicago – Thirty-three years after winning the Best Director Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his 1978 drama, “Days of Heaven,” maverick filmmaker Terrence Malick has received an even greater honor. His fifth feature, “The Tree of Life,” won the Palme d’Or at the 64th annual Cannes Film Festival, despite mixed reviews and a smattering of boos following its premiere screening.
“Tree of Life” stars Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain, and juxtaposes a boy’s coming-of-age during the 1950s with the evolution of Earth itself. The famously shy Malick was not present at the award ceremony, leaving producer Bill Pohlad to accept the prize. At a press conference following the awards ceremony, Jury president Robert De Niro said there wasn’t a great amount of fiery controversy among the judges. “It was a very civil experience,” De Niro said. “Most of us felt clearly that [“Tree of Life”] was the movie.

Day 12.
The city of Cannes is getting that “after the party’s over” feeling. The Marché is now closed, and the festival is winding up, but I like to stay until the end. One of my favorite events occurs on the second Saturday of the festival and is well worth the stay, so at 11 a.m., I go to the official screening of the courts métrages en Compétition.
During the festival you can see the short films in the main competition at any time in the Short Film Corner’s screening booths, but viewing the screening of these films together is a rewarding experience. There are nine films, all between 11 and 15 minutes in length: “Badpakje 46” directed by Wannes Destoop (Belgium); “Soy tan feliz” directed by Vladimir Durán (Colombia); “Bear” directed by Nash Edgerton (Australia); “Kjøttsår” directed by Lisa Marie Gamlem (Norway...

There are talent labs, and there are cinema funds from festivals (ie. Rotterdam's CineMart; Cannes' Atelier), and then there are the short film sections; every important festival has one, and those who do well get their films promoted and financed to become feature-length debuts. Cannes' Short Film Competition (Court Métrage) awards a full-blown Palme d'Or to its winner, and more often than not, these winning filmmakers become the next big names in cinema. Jane Campion won it with Peel in 1982; as did Marian Crisan with 2008's Megatron (he went on to direct last year's Locarno awardee Morgen), and Cătălin Mitulescu with Traffic in 2004. Lynne Ramsay was a runner-up with a Grand Prix award for her Small Deaths, and while Nuri Bilge Ceylan didn't win with his short Cocoon, it was definitely there in the '95 Competition. The latter 3 names are especially notable right now, as all three have films in...
