MUMBAI: For its 12th edition, Rotterdam Lab has added eight new partner organisations like Catalan Films & TV (Spain), Cinergia (Costa Rica), Doha Film Institute (Qatar), Film I Vast (Sweden), The Finnish Film Foundation (Finland), Meetings on the Bridge/Istanbul Film Festival (Turkey), Skillset (United Kingdom), and Sundance Institute (USA).

Among 78 young film producers who have been nominated by the 28 Rotterdam Lab partner organisations, four Indian producers have been nominated by NFDC to participate in this programme.

They include Haobam Paban Kumar of Oli Pictures, Suhrud Godbole of Indian Magic Eye Motion Pictures, Khanjan Kishore Nath of Ramdhenu Films and Manjeet Singh of Cinemanjeet Creations.

All of them had earlier participated in the NFDC’s Film Bazaar’s ‘Co-Production Market’ and ‘Work-in-Progress Lab 2011’ in Goa.

The Rotterdam Lab meetings take place in an informal setting and are organised to illustrate the process by which a project in need of financing is completed and brought to its audience.

Rotterdam Lab will take place from 28 January– 1 February.
