The Story Lab 2025

With children's and teenagers’ lives remaining vastly underrepresented on screen, Cinephilia Productions and Filmlab Palestine are pleased to announce the return of The Story Lab, a program designed to inspire filmmakers to explore the significance of storytelling for young audiences. 

Up to six promising projects for children, young adults, and families will be selected from among the Arab applicants to develop their projects for production through an intensive three-month program that includes scriptwriting, directing, production, and financial and promotional plans. 

A jury of film professionals will select a project to receive a $20,000 prize along with in-kind post-production services.
