The 17th edition of FIDLab, the development and co-production platform of the Marseille International Film Festival (FIDMarseille), came to a close with the presentation of eight awards to innovative projects, selected by a distinguished jury composed of Stefan Ivančiċ (director, producer, and Locarno Film Festival programmer), Olimpia Pont Cháfer (producer and film festival expert), and Pierre-Emmanuel Finzi (producer and distributor).

The Casa de Velázquez – Impulso ECAM Award was presented to Marcela, by filmmaker Salka Tiziana, while the Commune Image Award went to Ne quittes pas ton pays, directed by Aliha Thalien. This latter project also received a special invitation from the Porto/Post/Doc festival to take part in its upcoming co-production meeting.

Meanwhile, The Case Against Space by Graeme Arnfield won the DA Films Award, and Je m’appelle Nina Shakira by Samuel Suffren received the Kodar / Transperfect Award. The Label 42 Award was granted to Die Stadt by Helena Wittmann, while the Préludes Award went to La Volière by Judith Auffray.

Filmmaker Nicolás Pereda was honored with the Sublimage Award for his project Lo demás es ruido, and I Can Feel You Breathing Into My Palm by Alexandra Karelina rounded out the list of winners with the Vidéo de Poche Award.
