Our cooperation with the international mentoring programme First Cut Lab is entering its third round! The First Cut Lab Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein is aimed specifically at MOIN-funded feature and documentary film productions that are in the editing phase.

The North German First Cut Lab edition takes place exclusively online. The participation fee is 1,000 euros, the remaining costs are covered by the MOIN Film Fund. You can still apply until 15 May 2023.

In 2022, the MOIN-funded project "Desire of the Prey" by Carly May Borgstrom, among others, took part in the First Cut Lab - an experience that Executive Producer Verena Gräfe-Höft describes as follows:

"The First Cut Lab was a very important experience. Initiator Matthieu Darras put together wonderful experts for us, including editor Agnieszka Glinska ('EO', 'Lamb' ), who was able to give us valuable advice at an early stage. I can only warmly recommend the programme."
